Geophysical Survey

Overview

Enviros carries out geophysical surveys from shallow coastal waters to ultra deepwater solutions. By combining seabed mapping with shallow subsurface imaging, these surveys show how conditions vary across a site and where features such as steep slopes, obstructions or buried channels that may affect design and installation.

Our Geophysical Survey Services

From individual offshore sites to long cable and pipeline routes, our surveys map seabed features and reveal the geology beneath them. The findings help identify potential hazards and guide decisions on where and how to install subsea infrastructure.

Seabed Mapping

Map water depths, slopes and seabed features to guide the placement of subsea infrastructure.

Shallow Subsurface Imaging

Trace sediment layers and buried channels to understand how ground conditions vary beneath the seabed.

Geohazard Assessment

Identify signs of seabed instability and shallow gas before selecting an offshore site.

Cable & Pipeline Route Surveys

Compare potential routes and locate obstructions or difficult burial conditions along each corridor.

Our Approach

Survey Planning

Project objectives, water depth and existing site data guide the selection of sensors, survey lines and coverage.

Field Data Collection

Survey platforms collect positioning, sonar and subsurface data. Quality checks during acquisition help identify gaps while the vessel is still on site.

Data Processing & Analysis

Positioning and sensor records are checked and aligned to produce seabed maps, sonar imagery and subsurface profiles.

Findings & Reporting

The final charts and reports identify significant features, explain their implications and highlight areas that warrant further investigation.

What We Use

Survey vessels and autonomous underwater vehicles carry sensors suited to the water depth and the detail required. Multibeam echo sounders map seabed contours, side-scan sonar images surface features, and sub-bottom profilers reveal layers beneath the seabed.
