 Subsea & Pipeline 

At NextHarbour, our team brings decades of expertise in subsea systems, offshore pipelines, and large-scale energy infrastructure projects, spanning concept design, construction, inspection, and decommissioning.

We have successfully delivered projects across the full lifecycle:

  • Subsea Decommissioning & Recycling
    Led decommissioning campaigns for major offshore systems, including the Enfield Subsea System and Echo Yodel Pipeline, ensuring safe recovery, recycling, and environmentally responsible disposal of subsea infrastructure.
  • Pipeline Construction & Installation
    Delivered the 42” 1000km Browse Trunkline, one of the most complex pipeline coating and installation scopes in Australian waters (depths up to 550m).
    Oversaw pipeline installation for the Great Western Flank 2 Development, from concept select to FEED engineering, contract award, offshore installation, and start-up, completed below budget and ahead of schedule.
  • Subsea Construction & Flowlines
    Represented the operator during the OKHA FPSO 15km gas lift flowline replacement, including saturation diving campaigns with DOF Subsea.
  • Inspection & Integrity
    Delivered inline inspection (ILI) campaigns for existing pipelines, including onshore modifications and land access agreements to support ExxonMobil’s Bass Strait CCS project.
  • Technology & Innovation
    Advanced pipelay technologies and reeling methodologies for faster, more cost-efficient offshore pipeline delivery.
    Integrated AI and machine learning into offshore reservoir and asset planning—accelerating insights for subsea field development and long-term infrastructure resilience.
  • Strategic Leadership
    Partnered with governments, EPC firms, and joint venture operators to align large-scale subsea and pipeline projects with Net-Zero and ESG objectives, ensuring regulatory compliance and sustainable outcomes.

Project Management

We deliver complex energy projects on time, on budget, and with uncompromising standards for safety, quality, and sustainability. Our approach integrates technical excellence, stakeholder engagement, and strategic foresight to achieve operational and commercial success.

Our experience covers every stage of project delivery, from strategy to execution:

  • End-to-End Project Delivery
    Led major offshore and onshore energy projects, including Offshore Wind CRCP initiatives, CCS projects, and multi-billion-dollar pipeline and subsea developments. Oversaw full project lifecycle, from concept select, FEED, and tendering, to execution, commissioning, and handover.
  • Cross-Functional & Multi-Stakeholder Leadership
    Coordinated diverse teams across engineering, operations, and research institutions, aligning international contractors, government agencies, and JV partners. Delivered results through clear governance, risk management, and structured decision-making under uncertainty.
  • Strategic Planning & Capital Management
    Developed prioritization frameworks and investment strategies for complex infrastructure programs, balancing cost, schedule, and environmental outcomes. Enabled executive teams to make informed, data-driven decisions and sequence capital deployment effectively.
  • Digital & Innovation Integration
    Applied AI, machine learning, and advanced forecasting tools to optimize asset performance, improve project scheduling, and enhance operational efficiency. Supported long-term strategic planning through scenario modeling, risk-informed decision-making, and ESG-aligned execution strategies.
  • Health, Safety, and Sustainability Leadership
    Advocated for zero-incident project delivery and environmentally responsible operations. Embedded decarbonization and sustainability goals into project execution, including offshore and pipeline decommissioning, CO₂ reduction, and circular economy principles.
  • Performance Recognition
    Successfully delivered complex projects under challenging conditions, earning recognition for leadership, technical delivery, and cost-effective execution across multiple major energy assets.
