UTEC Mobilises for Large Geotechnical Contract

UTEC has mobilised a 100 metre vessel for one of the largest geotechnical contracts awarded in the last 4 years. The 4 month contract will utilise mini Cone Penetration Test (CPT) technology coupled with new towed Resistivity Systems designed and built specifically for this and future route surveys. Under this contract, UTEC will undertake CPT and Resistivity down to 1000 meters over 11,000km of the undersea fibre optic telecommunications cable route, from the Mediterranean to South East Asia. The Burial Assessment Survey (BAS) will be reported on in ‘near real time’ with data combined with geophysical survey data sets within days of acquisition through UTEC HQ in Lowestoft (UK).
