Support and optimisation of seaport and coastal infrastructure projects
At Sixense Limited, we bring world-class expertise in monitoring, engineering, and digital asset management to the seaports, coastal, and marine infrastructure sector.
From deep-water ports and harbours to coastal defences and offshore structures, we help clients manage the unique challenges of marine environments — including tidal forces, corrosion, settlement, and climate-related risks. Our integrated solutions combine cutting-edge technology with practical engineering knowledge to ensure the safety, reliability, and sustainability of marine and coastal assets.
Design and Ground Investigation Services
The foundation of any successful marine project lies in understanding the complex interactions between soil, structure, and water. Sixense provides comprehensive geophysical and geotechnical investigation services for quays, jetties, breakwaters, and dredged areas. Using advanced modelling and simulation tools, we can analyse seabed behaviour, scour potential, and structural response under wave and current loading. This data-driven approach enables designers and engineers to optimise designs for stability, longevity, and environmental performance — reducing construction risks in challenging marine conditions.
Construction Monitoring and Structural Safety
During construction, Sixense delivers robust instrumentation and monitoring solutions that help manage safety and performance in dynamic, high-risk environments. Our systems measure movement, vibration, strain, and environmental parameters such as tides, currents, and wave impact. We provide real-time data visualisation and automated alerts that allow project teams to respond quickly to change, protecting both new structures and nearby operational assets. Our proven track record includes monitoring marine walls, docks, offshore platforms, and coastal protection works, helping contractors deliver safely and efficiently.
Digital Inspection and Asset Management
Once in service, Sixense supports port and coastal operators with advanced digital inspection and asset management technologies. Using 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, sonar, and digital twin modelling, we capture accurate data on the condition of quays, piles, decks, and underwater structures.
These digital records allow clients to visualise deterioration, assess structural health, and optimally plan targeted maintenance. Our systems transform complex inspection data into actionable intelligence — improving safety, extending asset life, and reducing the cost of maintenance in harsh marine environments.
Long-Term Monitoring and Coastal Resilience
As climate change increases the pressure on coastal and port infrastructure, Sixense provides long-term structural health monitoring and resilience solutions to help clients prepare for the future.
Our technologies track changes in structural behaviour, ground stability, and environmental conditions over time — detecting early signs of damage or instability. We also support sustainability and adaptation strategies through data-driven insights that guide maintenance, retrofitting, and reinforcement works.
With Sixense as your partner, you can confidently manage the performance and resilience of your marine and coastal assets for decades to come.
