Liphook, England: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is proud to bring back the Intertek Metoc brand, highlighting the pioneering expertise and experience of its multi-disciplinary team and the dedicated consultancy solutions it provides for global energy and water companies.

As global energy demand and environmental performance expectations continue to rise, companies in the wind, wave and tidal energy, subsea cable, water, and oil & gas industries need a trusted technical partner to help them mitigate quality and safety risks while navigating regulatory compliance and environmental licensing requirements and achieving their sustainability objectives. ​

Established in 1983, Metocean Consultancy Ltd - now Intertek Metoc - focused on meteorological and oceanographic consultancy services in the upstream oil & gas sector. Over the next 40 years, the company's expertise and industry sector diversification broadened exponentially. Today Intertek Metoc's consultants, scientists, engineers, researchers and project managers work hand-in-hand with multi-level stakeholders in industries such as wind, wave and tidal energy, subsea cable, water, and oil & gas.

From concept and feasibility studies to environmental permitting and design efficiency, Intertek Metoc helps companies achieve early success in project planning and development by delivering the assessments needed for stakeholder engagement and project viability. Its experts provide peace of mind through early engagement assurance and consultancy solutions designed to build firm foundations for safe, economic and sustainable projects. Whether developing the optimum subsea cable route or creating environmental modelling scenarios to accomplish water quality objectives and engineering savings, Intertek Metoc's trusted technical and consultancy solutions help operators, developers, asset managers, utilities and governments to secure compliance, reduce costs and mitigate risks while accelerating their transition to net zero emissions.

Frank Beiboer, Managing Director, Intertek Metoc, commented: "Backed by an extensive and diverse project history, our team works at the critical interface where engineering design and asset operation meet environmental constraints, providing sought-after assurance solutions for complex technical, regulatory and strategic challenges.​ We are proud to bring back the Metoc brand, leveraging decades of experience and expertise to support our global energy and water customers with the energy transition."
