Geotechnical Soil Investigations
Offshore and nearshore geotechnical soil investigations are performed to assess the seabed and sub-seafloor soil conditions and their properties to support the design and engineering of marine structures such as:
- Platforms, flares, cables, pipelines and associated marine infrastructures
- Site stability and suitability studies for jack-up rig placements
- Leg/spudcan penetration analysis for jack-up rigs
- Seafloor morphology for pipeline / cable routing, dredging and trenching purposes
- SPM and anchor moorings
- Offshore wind turbine locations
- Port development and shipping related infrastructures
Drilling rig (PQ3 & Geobor S), in-situ sampling and testing equipment such as SPT, vane and pressure meter testing can be installed on barges and self-elevating platforms to perform the geotechnical boreholes.
