At Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2025, our team will join conversations across panels, presentations, roundtables and fireside chats. We’ll share practical experience on digital engineering, AI, decarbonisation, supply chains, hydrogen, the workforce of the future and more. 📍 Meet us at Stand F90 🗓️ Discover our full speaking line-up on our webpage.
🦺 The most powerful form of safety is the kind you never see. Hamid Khosravi unpacks the quiet impact of Loss Prevention Engineering - not as a compliance exercise, but as a design mindset. From fire protection systems to hazardous area classification, real prevention doesn’t happen at the last gate check. It happens in the early design decisions – the ones that challenge assumptions, sharpen layouts, and keep people safe. Hamid also reflects on lessons learned across his career and how we approach LPE at Kent: not as a bolt-on, but as a foundation – embedded from concept through commissioning. 📖 Read the full piece on our website.
Offshore wind is central to net zero, but how do we balance cost with the need to cut carbon? At SPE Offshore Europe, our Graduate Structural Engineer, Clementine Thompson, will present ‘Multi-objective Optimisation of Cost and Carbon of Offshore Wind Foundations’ as part of the Net Zero: Hydrogen and Renewables session on Thursday, 4 September at 14:30 BST. Her presentation draws on over 90 design scenarios to show how fabrication location, turbine size and foundation type influence both embodied carbon and cost in future ScotWind projects. Using Pareto frontiers, Clementine will demonstrate how multi-objective optimisation can lead to smarter foundation design decisions, and highlight how closer European manufacture and larger turbines can shift the balance in performance. It’s sure to be a groundbreaking session. Don’t forget to visit the rest of our team at stand 2G30 to continue the conversation on shaping the future of offshore wind.
We’re pleased to announce that Kent has signed a binding agreement to acquire Exceed, a world-class provider of well management, subsurface, and decommissioning engineering services. This is more than an acquisition, it’s a leap forward in our mission to be the full-service partner of choice across the energy lifecycle, from late-life operations through to the safe, sustainable retirement of offshore assets. With two decades of experience, 70+ wells drilled, 150+ decommissioned, and operations in over 40 countries, Exceed brings world-class technical excellence and a reputation built on trust. Together, we’ll be at the forefront of a decommissioning market set to double by 2035, delivering safe, compliant, and cost-effective end-of-life solutions for clients worldwide, while unlocking new opportunities in the energy transition. The transaction is expected to complete later this year, and we can’t wait to get started.
From fixed platforms to floating wind, Kent’s offshore engineering teams deliver clarity and results, no matter how complex the challenge. With 45+ years of experience and powerful digital tools like WindVision and real-time digital twins, we help clients decarbonise, optimise, and extend asset life. 📩 Ready to face the future of offshore engineering?

We've joined forces with Oosita Group of Companies, a business entity of the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation, to create a new joint venture, Oosita-Kent Field Services. Bringing together our combined expertise, we will deliver high-quality telecommunications and field maintenance services, while fostering skills development, employment, and business opportunities for the Fort Chipewyan Métis community. Working side-by-side, we will ensure the venture’s operations are guided by a shared commitment to quality, safety, and meaningful community impact. Read more on our website.
Brad Clegg has spent the last 20 years helping to shape the way we work in the APAC region; leading by example, building strong teams, and raising the bar on safety and performance across every project he’s touched. To mark his 20-year milestone at Kent, we sat down with Brad for a personal conversation about what two decades in the industry have taught him and what really matters when it comes to leadership, culture, and getting the job done. We also threw in a quick-fire round for good measure. 🎥 Watch the full video and read the story.
At Kent, we’re putting quality at the heart of every engineering decision. That’s why we’ve been working alongside bp and other Tier 1 contractors to co-create the Quality in Engineering initiative. In this article, Andrew Warren, our Engineering Director in the UK, shares how this initiative is transforming the way we work across the sector. From earlier collaboration and shared KPIs to risk-based verification tools, it’s all about building better outcomes from day one. 📄 Read more on our website about how quality, when owned by everyone, builds trust, reduces inefficiencies and helps deliver projects that last.
