Geotechnical Investigation
We care for our work
Discovering The Secrets From Shallow Coastal Waters To Deep Ocean Depths
Our uncompromising focus on quality, health and safety combined with our flexible approach allows us to consistently deliver tailor-made engineering solutions.
We are established as a leading provider of offshore geotechnical services. Our uncompromising focus on quality, health and safety combined with our flexible approach allows us to consistently deliver tailor-made engineering solutions. Our dedicated geotechnical drilling vessels, MV Java Illithyia and MV Miclyn Grace, offer the full spread of geotechnical services, including:
- Downhole Piezo-cone Penetration Testing (PCPT)
- Undisturbed soil sampling
- Disturbed soil sampling
- Downhole vane testing
- Rock coring
- Seismic Cone Penetration Testing (CPTs)
- P-S logging
- In-field soil laboratory testing
We offer clients support throughout the entire life cycle of their projects, providing critical geotechnical data and analyses to accurately quantify ground conditions of their project sites. Our geotechnical investigations extend from the shallow continental shelf up to open sea depths of 1200m.
Perform Detailed Interpretation
Our clients come from across the continents representing a range of marine related industries. Since 2003, we have performed over 2000 rig entry soil borings; hundreds of platforms, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO), pipeline installations; and drilled dozens of pilot holes up to depths of 600m. We have ventured into flagship wind farm projects in Taiwan and recently in Myanmar & Thailand where we have successfully performed a number of sampling boreholes in challenging soil and weather conditions.
Our offshore geotechnical team are supported by our onshore team of experienced geologists and geotechnical engineers who perform detailed interpretation for foundation design and engineering analyses. Our fully integrated turn-key solutions will facilitate your decision-making to better manage the ground risks associated with your offshore project.
Our Thorough Exploration Programmes Help Prevent Expensive Surprises
We provide efficient engineering solutions for a range of projects, including geological assessments, site exploration and land surveys.
Our integrated specialist teams work in combination to provide enhanced geotechnical data that address your land geotechnical challenges. The obtained results of boreholes, field and laboratory tests reveal insightful information from which our geo-consultancy team can estimate site characteristics and recommend suitable foundation types and safe loading. We provide efficient engineering solutions for a range of projects, including geological assessments, site exploration and land surveys.
Our services for onshore land geotechnics include:
- Standard penetration testing and Sampling
- Rock Coring
- Cone Penetration Testing
- Pressure meter Testing
- Packer Testing
- Soil resistivity Testing
- Ground Water Sampling and water level measurements
- Installation of PVC Standpipe Piezometer
- In-situ Vane Shear test
- Underground utilities survey
Understanding the ground conditions of your site helps determine specific engineering properties. From our experience in the industry, we can give advice on the geotechnical aspects regarding a variety of challenges to support you in moving forward with your planned developments.
