Global Riser – Offshore Riser Maintenance Visual Communication
Technical Communication for Offshore Engineering and Asset Maintenance
Client: Global Riser
​
Global Riser provides specialised offshore riser maintenance services for assets in transit between international locations.
The services involve complex engineering processes, strict operational requirements, and terminology that is not immediately accessible to non-specialist stakeholders.
​
The project was commissioned to create a single, consistent visual explanation of Global Riser’s services that could be used across stakeholder meetings, exhibitions, and client-facing contexts. The goal was to reduce repeated verbal explanations, align the marketing team around a shared narrative, and ensure all audiences began discussions with a clear understanding of what Global Riser does and how it supports offshore operations.
The challenge
The primary challenge was the density of technical information involved in offshore riser maintenance.
​
Specifically:
• Engineering concepts relied heavily on industry-specific terminology
• Service workflows spanned multiple operational phases and international locations
• Many stakeholders encountered the subject matter for the first time in commercial or introductory meetings
Without a shared baseline explanation, meetings were often spent clarifying fundamentals rather than addressing higher-level operational or strategic questions. The communication needed to remain technically accurate while being accessible to commercial, procurement, and non-engineering decision-makers.
The approach
Triken Studios structured the content into a clear, sequential visual narrative that translated engineering processes into accessible system-level explanations.
​
The approach focused on:
-
Breaking complex maintenance workflows into discrete, logical stages
-
Reducing jargon without oversimplifying technical intent
-
Using motion graphics to clarify sequence, responsibility, and scope
-
Maintaining a neutral, professional tone suitable for industrial and engineering contexts
The visuals were designed to function as a supporting communication tool rather than a promotional asset.
Deployment & outcome
The animation was deployed across client meetings, exhibition environments, and as an informational asset on Global Riser’s website, supporting consistent communication across multiple touchpoints.
The final delivery provided a clear, structured overview of Global Riser’s riser maintenance services, allowing teams to establish shared understanding early in stakeholder conversations. This enabled meetings to focus on operational detail and decision-making rather than repeated explanation of core services, improving alignment across marketing teams and external audiences.
