Partrac

Description

Partrac was founded in Glasgow, Scotland by Dr Kevin Black, Sam Athey and Peter Wilson in August 2003. Founded upon decades of expertise in physical marine processes and marine measurement, the Company aim was to provide the owners and developers of complex engineering environmental projects in challenging marine environments with high-quality, science-led metocean and geo-surveys.

The company have supported the successful completion of many high-profile projects, both domestically and overseas, collecting critical data for projects that include major port infrastructure developments and dredging projects (e.g., the London Gateway project and Liverpool2), almost all UK offshore wind developments, the principal tidal and wave energy projects that emerged during the early days of the sector and across several emerging aquaculture projects.

In 2011 Partrac opened an office in Newcastle as the focus for delivering specialist marine consulting services. Their team comprises PhD grade specialists, with expertise in advanced metocean analysis, coastal processes, coastal modelling, geomorphology and flow-sediment-structure interactions. Integrating with their core survey expertise, Partrac have delivered desktop projects and studies for major blue-chip clients which include metocean design criteria, seabed morphodynamic assessments, scour and seabed mobility studies, ES physical marine environment chapters for EIA and site characterisation studies.
