Comprehensive Survey Capabilities

GeoView employs advanced geophysical survey techniques to map and analyze the seabed and sub-seafloor conditions. Our services provide critical information for planning, design, and construction, ensuring every stage of offshore wind farm development is grounded in reliable data.

Survey Methods and Equipment

  • Multibeam Echosounder (MBES):

    • Provides high-resolution bathymetry data to map seabed topography in detail.
    • Ensures precise identification of underwater features for optimal turbine and cable placement.

  • Seabed Imaging:

    • Uses advanced Side-Scan Sonar to capture detailed images of the seabed surface.
    • Detects potential obstacles and characterizes sediment distribution for safe construction.

  • Sub-Bottom Profiler:

    • Penetrates beneath the seabed to analyze subsurface stratigraphy.
    • Identifies buried objects and geological features critical for foundation design.

  • Magnetometer:

    • Detects ferrous objects and potential hazards like unexploded ordnance (UXO).
    • Ensures the site is safe for construction activities.

  • Medium-Channel Ultra High-Resolution Seismic (MC-UHRS):

    • Provides ultra-detailed imaging of the subsurface to understand sediment layers and geological structures.
    • Delivers precise stratigraphic information for informed decision-making.
