Baseline Site Conditions

The physical site as it actually exists

When assumptions replace evidence

This application area focuses on establishing a verified baseline of physical conditions at a given point in time. It is applied where design, planning, or works depend on an accurate understanding of what physically exists on an offshore asset, within an operational facility, across a site, or within an existing structure, before assumptions are made.

By verifying physical conditions as they are, Phase provides a defensible factual baseline that supports early risk identification and informed decision-making ahead of commitment.

Offshore Asset Conditions

Existing conditions established before modification, shutdown, or campaign work proceeds.

Facility & Plant Conditions

Physical conditions of existing plant and facilities established before design or construction proceeds.

Site & Ground Conditions

Ground conditions and buried services established before excavation or intrusive works proceed.

Records That State What Was Checked

Outputs that record their method, sources and limits, for engineering reviews, regulatory submissions, and approval processes.

Baseline Reference for Decision-Making

Integrated site and subsurface information compiled into a defensible reference used in reviews, approvals, and readiness decisions

Applied before design or intrusive works commit

Baseline Site Conditions is engaged at the earliest project stage — when the physical reality of an asset, facility, or site must be established before engineering decisions are made. It reduces the risk of committing to a design or scope based on records that no longer reflect what physically exists. Phase operates from Aberdeen, delivering baseline condition surveys across offshore, industrial and infrastructure environments throughout Scotland and the UK.

When it's needed

Applied where existing drawings, records, or survey data cannot be relied upon before decisions are made. Typically engaged ahead of offshore modifications and campaigns, brownfield modifications at operating sites, infrastructure works, major construction on live or constrained sites, and any situation where unverified physical conditions carry project risk.

Establish the baseline before commitment

Establish the baseline before commitment. If existing conditions, records, or physical reality cannot be relied upon before decisions are made, a short conversation is often enough to establish whether Phase can help.
