Our Services
Understand the ground beneath you, and every future step becomes stronger.
Tardra provides the guidance and technical insight you need to navigate complexity and deliver with confidence.
We offer specialised engineering and execution services for offshore drilling and foundation installation.
Offshore Foundation Drilling
High-torque, under-reamed socket drilling from fixed or floating vessels.
Operational Support
Hands-on help offshore—drilling oversight, casing stability and cuttings management.
With a core focus on risk reduction, precision, and innovation, our services are tailored to address the most complex technical challenges in offshore wind and marine infrastructure projects.
Installability & Planning
Site-specific risk analysis, vessel compatibility, and method development.
Equipment & Advisory
Impartial, expert guidance on tooling, rigs, and drilling methodologies.
Offshore Foundation Drilling
We provide bespoke pile top and subsea drilling services for challenging seabed conditions, including hard rock socketing, under-reaming, and deep pile penetration. Our drill rigs are designed, built, and operated by the team, offering capabilities up to 9.5m in diameter.
Navigated Challenges
Hard seabed refusal requiring socket drilling
Foundation installation in locations with poor geotechnical conditions
Large-diameter monopile or jacket pin pile installation requiring high torque and stability
Confidence in Delivery
Proven performance using RCD rigs from 2.2m to 9.5m
Experienced team capable of mobilizing from floating vessels with heave-compensated platforms
High torque, under-reaming technology designed to reduce risk and time offshore
Operational Support
We embed alongside your team to provide real-time technical support during installation, whether it’s offshore troubleshooting, construction management, or on-the-fly adaptation to site conditions.
Navigated Challenges
Offshore delays due to misaligned expectations between engineering and field teams
On-site problems with seabed inclination, casing stability, or hole cleaning
Equipment malfunction or adaptation needs under pressure
Confidence in Delivery
Direct access to senior engineers and equipment experts
Troubleshooting and change management during critical operations
Seamless interface between field execution and project planning
Installability & Planning
We support early-stage engineering with detailed assessments of site-specific conditions, equipment compatibility, and foundation feasibility to help developers and contractors plan efficient installation campaigns.
Navigated Challenges
Unknown or poorly defined seabed conditions leading to underestimated risk
Suboptimal foundation or vessel selection during concept phase
Late-stage design changes due to installability concerns
Confidence in Delivery
Feasibility studies including cost, schedule, vessel and anchor type evaluations
Technical due diligence across equipment, drilling parameters, and risk management
Reduced likelihood of unexpected delays, downtime or cost overruns
Equipment & Method Advisory
We provide clients with impartial advice on equipment selection, drilling methods, and tooling—based on over 60 years of experience designing and operating some of the industry’s most advanced rigs.
Typical Challenges Solved
Selection of inappropriate drill rigs or tooling for project needs
Inefficient or outdated methodologies
Equipment or vessel interface mismatches
Engineered Confidence
Full lifecycle design input from rig to bit
Tailored drilling methods, downhole tool specs, cuttings management, and deployment aids
Vendor-agnostic approach ensures optimal, not convenient, recommendations
