GraviProbe Delivered for US Survey Equipment Services (SES)
The GraviProbe by dotOcean is a geotechnical profiling system that analyses underwater sediment layers during intrusion. A recent business partnership agreement between dotOcean and MacArtney covering the North American continent provides customers with access to the range of dotOcean sediment and soil measurement products. A GraviProbe has been sold by MacArtney US to SES, supplier of marine survey and navigation equipment for hire, sale and lease purchase.
Being a free fall impact instrument analysing the underwater sediment layers during intrusion, the GraviProbe is capable of accelerating and penetrating fluid and consolidated mud layers under its own weight. In addition, the GraviProbe instrument is able to distinguish the depth of the fluid mud and consolidated mud layers, even in gassy environments.
