Beam is delivering new ways of working in the offshore wind sector. Our technology enables improved operational efficiency, reliable and complete data capture. All while reducing your environmental impact.
We are helping the world become a cleaner, greener, and safer place. Our core focus is to automate offshore wind services by creating and deploying novel tech solutions. Through the automation of hydrographic survey and ROV operations, we provide customers with better data quality and reporting, shorter projects, and a more competitive price point. We strive to ensure ‘the way it was always done’ is the way it’s no longer done; there is always a better way.
We concentrate on the entire life cycle of renewable assets, delivering vital insights that aid the engineering, design, construction, maintenance and performance of offshore wind farms. At the same time, we’re assisting the world’s drive to clean up and decommissioning older oil and gas infrastructure.
