As a subsea and offshore cementing specialist for the global energy construction industries, FoundOcean’s main activity is fixing structures to the seabed by foundation grouting.

The privately owned company, which started work in 1966 in the Middle East in what are now known as the Umm Shaif and Zakum oil fields, also provides structural repair services for subsea and offshore structures, and pipeline and cable support and protection services.

FoundOcean moved into the North Sea in the 1970s, through its work for BP’s platforms in the Forties oilfield, situated 110 miles east of Aberdeen. Though it still works extensively in the North Sea, the majority of its work is now in other parts of the world, with customers as far afield as South East Asia, Brazil, the Indian Ocean and West Africa, the Mediterranean, the Caspian and Russia.
