Enviros was contracted by DONG Energy to perform a geotechnical seabed site investigation in Norwegian waters. The geotechnical seabed site investigation scope of work comprised one hundred and sixty locations where vibrocore equipment was utilised to recover 6m samples.
Drop core and piston coring techniques were also used to suit seabed conditions. Recovered undisturbed samples were logged and described in the offshore soil laboratory. Samples were sealed into sub-samples to retain the in situ properties of the recovered soils for onshore laboratory testing. A ‘Field’ report was issued on completion of all offshore operations and a ‘Laboratory and In Situ Testing’ report issued on completion of all scheduled onshore laboratory testing.
