Services<\/strong>  \/  0 to 80 m below seabed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground investigation, from sonar to soil test<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Survey, sampling, testing and interpretation for wind farms, ports, cables and coastal works. Book one service or the whole investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Five services, read from the top of the core down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Book one service or the whole investigation. Each layer of work feeds the next, so a single team keeps the data consistent from the first sonar line to the final report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Seabed surface<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Seabed mapping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Multibeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar and seabed imagery show the shape of the seabed, boulders, wrecks and debris along your site or route.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Geophysical survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sub-bottom profiling, seismic and magnetometer surveys trace the layers under the seabed and find buried hazards before anyone drills or digs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Samples to 60 m<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Geotechnical sampling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cone penetration tests, vibrocores and boreholes from vessels, jack-ups or the shore, logged and sealed on deck so the sample stays true to the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Laboratory testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Classification, strength, stiffness and chemistry tests on soil and rock, run to the schedule and methods named in your project specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ground models and reports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We bring the survey lines, test results and samples together into one ground model, with the design parameters and the uncertainties written down plainly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How a survey runs, from first call to final report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every investigation follows the same five steps. The time each one takes depends on your site, the season and the weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We read what you plan to build, review existing data and agree the questions the investigation has to answer. You get a written scope and price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobilise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vessel, equipment, crew, permits and a weather plan are booked and checked. Survey lines and test locations are set out before anyone sails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

03<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Geophysics first, then targeted sampling where the data says it matters. Daily reports keep you up to date while the team is in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Samples are logged, photographed and tested to the agreed schedule. Results are checked against the field data before they leave the lab.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

05<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A factual report, then an interpreted ground model with design parameters. We walk your engineers through it and answer their questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
