Metoc Silver Jubilee

Metoc is celebrating 25 years of business, serving the offshore energy and water industries. The company provides Environmental Design and Risk Management services to retain and add value throughout an asset's life-cycle based upon Metoc's analysis of how the asset affects, and is affected by the environment

Set up in 1983, Metoc continues to grow with a clear vision in mind, according to managing director, Kevin Deeming: "To be the catalyst for successful resource development in a fragile world".

Originally Metocean Consultancy Ltd, it went through two changes in name to become Metoc plc in 1995. Over the years, it has diversified in both its work and geographical locations. Metoc is now one of the leading independent project management and advisory companies in the marine, coastal and river environments.

There has never been a more interesting time to work in these sectors with the oil price continuing to drive major investment in oil and gas, the expansion plans for offshore wind, rapid growth in marine power transmission, and the challenges of the Water Framework Directive.

Managing Director, Kevin Deeming, says, "Metoc intends to play a key role in resource and asset development over the next 25 years. Areas of significant growth in the future will be energy security through offshore renewable energy, gas storage schemes, improved oil and gas abstraction, and coastal nuclear power stations. Associated with these will be the cables and pipelines, able to move energy around, and between, nation states. All of this, whilst ensuring our rivers, seas and coasts remain living environments."
