PANGEOTEK
Client Representation
We understand the importance of having readily available technical assistance for addressing any arising challenges
The benefits of using experienced foundation drilling and piling Client Representatives for the T&I phase of an OWF development can be a crucial factor in the success of a project. Pangeotek’s unique approach to offering Offshore Client Representative services involves a thorough selection process, ensuring that only those with the required knowledge, skills, and experience are approved. We never suggest candidates based solely on availability and ensure that our onshore team is available round-the-clock for guidance and support, giving both our Clients and Representatives peace of mind.
Prior industry knowledge can assist in the smooth running of the operation in several ways, including:
​
-
Technical Knowledge: Experienced foundation drilling and piling Client Representatives have a deep understanding of the technical aspects of these processes. They are familiar with different types of foundations and piling techniques, soil conditions, and can foresee potential issues that may arise during the drilling and piling process.
-
Quality Assurance: Client Representatives play a crucial role in ensuring that the quality of work meets the project specifications and industry standards. With their technical expertise, they can monitor the progress of the construction, identify any deviations, and intervene to maintain quality.
-
Risk Management: Foundation drilling and piling are complex processes with inherent risks. Experienced Client Representatives are aware of potential hazards and can implement risk management strategies to prevent accidents and delays.
-
Contractor Management: Foundation drilling and piling are often subcontracted to specialized contractors. A Client Representative acts as a liaison between the contractor and the project owner, ensuring that the contractors deliver according to the project requirements.
-
Cost Management: Foundation drilling and piling are significant cost factors in an offshore wind project. An experienced Client Representative can advise on areas where cost savings can be made without compromising on quality or safety.
-
Timely Completion: With their experience and knowledge, Client Representatives can closely monitor the progress of foundation and piling works and ensure that they are completed on time. This is essential for the overall schedule of the project, as any delays in these critical activities can have a domino effect on other construction activities.

We ensure that both our Client Representatives and Clients have continuous access to around-the-clock support from our office-based team who have decades of experience working in the offshore energy sector, offering technical knowledge and guidance, as well as QHSE and logistics support that is crucial for successful onsite operations. The technical support that is made available to the Client Reps while they are offshore is something that recruitment agencies are unable to offer as they do not have any experience in the discipline that they are supplying personnel for. This can sometimes lead to unsuitable personnel being sent out on complex foundation drilling projects.
Large diameter drilling for OWF foundations comes with considerable risks to the developer if the predicted drill rates cannot be achieved or the equipment does not function as anticipated. This can potentially lead to the project taking considerably longer than planned, coupled with the increased associated costs of the installation vessel hire.
​
Therefore, it is essential that the Client Representatives deployed to these projects fully understand the complex sequence of operations that are undertaken, and more importantly, have extensive experience with pile driving and foundation drilling from a practical perspective.
