Shallow Geotechnical Survey
Shallow Geotechnical Survey
Rapid shallow geotechnical probing and sampling to understand the shallow subsurface for intertidal cable installations.
-
Light and medium dynamic probing
-
Handheld CPT
-
Handheld corer

Laboratory testing
Geo-4D’s selection of shallow sampling and testing methods provide a cost-effective way to quickly characterise cable landfalls for trenching operations:
-
Determine beach bearing capacities for installation equipment and plant.
-
Determine depth to shallow bedrock.
-
Identify hard-to-trench coarse-grained sediments (gravel and cobbles).
-
Identify and sample soft clay layers, that may pose a punch-through risk to plant and equipment and may pose a risk to cable thermal dissipation (i.e. low thermal conductivity).
