Tuesday 25 November, 11:30 – 11:55 | Offshore decommissioning: From integrity to execution @ The Stage
Structural Engineer at Iv
With a background in structural and heavy-lift engineering, Ahmed contributes to some of Iv’s most challenging offshore projects worldwide. These projects push technical boundaries and demand practical, reliable solutions for safe and efficient offshore operations. His experience ranges from international decommissioning projects to the development of the most complex offshore wind substations. He specialises in the detailed design and preparation of complex steel structures for lifting, transport and removal, combining analytical precision with practical execution.
After completing his MSc in Civil Engineering at Delft University of Technology, he joined Iv to further develop his expertise. He is driven by the challenge of navigating offshore complexity through preparation, turning precision and teamwork into reliable results at sea.
“Whether it is an offshore platform, a wind turbine, or a subsea infrastructure, decommissioning is almost inevitable. In the coming decades, hundreds of assets will be reaching their end-of-life. Corrosion, fatigue and evolving regulations raise questions about integrity and long-term safety, while limited vessel capacity, narrow weather windows and strict requirements demand careful planning and accurate analysis. This session explores how engineering and data-driven insight can turn decommissioning into a predictable and well-coordinated operation, executed safely, efficiently and in support of the global energy transition.”
