Wave and Tidal Engineering Consultants

Wave and tidal energy are vast untapped energy resources offshore. With technology still in its early days, our group companies provide a comprehensive range of technical, advisory, engineering and marine assurance services to support developers at every project stage.

Wave Energy

The technology is still in its infancy and any concept developer faces immense risks in demonstrating the structural integrity of the technology and its installation, as well its financial viability. Wave energy is found in hostile areas, which mariners would traditionally avoid, making the deployment of this energy difficult.

ABL Group brings together its multi-disciplined marine and engineering expertise, with specialist capabilities in the development of cutting-edge marine renewable energy sources, to support developers’ insurance applications with decisive technical assessments of the concepts underpinning pioneering projects.
