the challenge
The Marinus Link subsea power interconnector required independent technical due diligence across a complex offshore route linking mainland Australia and Tasmania. Strong currents, seabed variability, and installation constraints introduced material execution risk that needed early validation.
The scale and technical complexity of the interconnector required a clear, independent view of feasibility before major capital commitments were made. Alignment between design assumptions and real-world installation conditions was critical to avoid downstream cost and schedule impacts.
project goals
the result
WFN delivered a detailed technical due diligence assessment identifying risks in routing, installation methodology, and design assumptions. Targeted recommendations improved execution planning and reduced uncertainty. The client gained clear visibility into technical exposure, supporting informed investment decisions and progression into subsequent engineering phases.
