Geotechnical expertise, providing complete and vital soils data

Across the world’s offshore environments, UTEC is ready to provide customized geotechnical services to ISO, ASTM and NGI guidelines. Our track record includes successful projects for the offshore energy and submarine telecommunications industries.

UTEC owns and operates a variety of geotechnical tools including an in-situ piezocone penetration testing system (40kN Roson CPT). We routinely utilize various overburden-sampling tools such as vibrocoring systems, piston corers, gravity corers and grab sampling units, as well as box samplers and ROV push-type corers.

The geotechnical and sample data collected can be used for:

• Offshore oil and gas exploration and field development
• Offshore pipeline and cable route surveys
• Offshore renewable energy
• Soil investigation for anchored structures
• Soil investigation for shallow foundations
• Assessment of soil condition for dredging/soil borrow
• Offshore mineral prospecting and monitoring
• Near-shore civil engineering projects
