FSG provides geotechnical services for oil and gas infrastructure projects across onshore, nearshore and coastal environments.
We support clients from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, construction and operational phases, helping to manage geotechnical risk and deliver infrastructure that is safe, reliable and fit for purpose. Our experience spans processing facilities, pipelines, storage and transfer facilities, export terminals, utilities, access infrastructure and associated civil works.
The oil and gas sector presents unique challenges, including variable ground conditions, complex loading environments, aggressive operating conditions and demanding construction programmes. FSG combines targeted site investigations, detailed ground characterisation and advanced geotechnical analysis with practical construction knowledge to develop solutions that are both technically robust and commercially effective.
By integrating investigation, design and construction considerations from the earliest stages of a project, we help clients identify and manage ground-related risks, optimise infrastructure solutions and improve project certainty. Our focus is always on delivering practical engineering outcomes that support safe construction, reliable operation and long-term asset performance in challenging environments.
Our expertise.
FSG has expertise from involvement across a broad range of oil and gas infrastructure, including pipelines, well pads, processing facilities, compressor stations, storage tanks, export terminals and associated civil infrastructure. Our teams have extensive experience delivering geotechnical investigations, site characterisation, foundation engineering, earthworks design and construction support for projects located in complex and often remote environments.
We provide expertise in pipeline geotechnics for both buried and exposed pipelines, foundation solutions for heavily loaded process infrastructure, slope stability assessment, groundwater management and ground improvement for challenging ground conditions.
Our experience extends to addressing site-specific geotechnical challenges commonly encountered on oil and gas projects, including soft soils, expansive clays, collapsible ground, acid sulphate soils, coastal and marine conditions, erosion, scour and seismic design considerations. By combining detailed site investigations with practical engineering judgement and a strong understanding of construction methodologies, we deliver clear, actionable recommendations that integrate seamlessly with multidisciplinary design teams and support informed project decision-making.
