Geoquip Marine is a geotechnical data acquisition company. It provides offshore and nearshore site investigations, geophysical surveys and engineering services to oil and gas and renewable energy industries, as well as infrastructure developers, and government and research organisations.
Geoquip Marine is a specialist offshore geotechnics service provider, primarily focusing on heave compensated drilling, sampling and in-situ testing.
Its experienced crew and on-board geotechnical engineers, as well as its wide range of equipment, provide site investigation management services. Reliable parameters and information is provided to support offshore projects through the delivery of core samples and accurate seabed data.
The company reduces site investigation time by operating down-hole test equipment with wireline systems and seabed operated systems that can be quickly deployed in deep or shallow waters.
In conjunction with an experienced team, Geoquip Marine can safely operate in adverse offshore waters, enabling precise geotechnical data collection in any location, regardless of unexpected conditions, budget or time frame. Results can be rapidly delivered from Geoquip’s on-board geotechnical laboratory, or provided in real-time.
Geoquip provides data interpretation and engineering services. Its experienced team allows for risk assessment and a clear understanding of sub-seabed characteristics in preparation for offshore projects. All offshore spreads are equipped with a soils laboratory, catering for any type of geotechnical investigation, be it for an oil and gas platform, wind turbine generator, suction anchor or any other form of offshore foundation.
Accurate offshore data analysis and flexible reporting can be tailored around the requirements of a given project. Geotechnical engineers in the field supply near real-time analysis of data retrieved during a site investigation. As well as in-situ test results, Geoquip provides laboratory analysis of recovered samples.
Proficient geotechnical engineers and geologists are capable of providing desktop studies, site characteristic and parameterisations, testing management and scheduling services, design parameters for offshore foundations, and in-depth engineering analysis and reporting.
Geoquip has provided offshore project planning services for a number of industry areas, including:
Geoquip’s fleet of robust vessels each carry a suite of sampling and in-situ testing tools so that the correct equipment can be selected to optimise offshore site investigations and handle challenges such as unexpected soil conditions. The company’s vessel fleet includes:
Geoquip Marine is at the forefront of deepwater drilling developments for offshore geotechnical purposes. Its drilling rig fleet includes:
Benefit from a world-class culture of safety that supports performance and ultimately the reliability of our geotechnical reports.
