North American geoROV Survey Completed
UTEC Geomarine, USA, has completed its geoROV CPT survey campaign in North America. The geotechnical survey in the Gulf of Mexico was in support of a major pipeline construction project and work comprised of in-situ testing, interpretation and production of the final reports.
The geoROV system is the ROV-conveyed geotechnical testing and sampling system developed in-house by UTEC Geomarine to address industry requirements. It has been developed to gather high-precision geotechnical data and already has been applied in the North Sea and Asia-Pacific regions.
The technology was suited to geotechnical survey operations in the Gulf of Mexico, where challenging and variable seabed conditions required precise geotechnical data for pipeline design purposes.
