Nearshore geotechnical site characterization services
Ground truth starts here.
Each site presents its own complexities—ranging from variable ground conditions and tidal, current, and groundwater processes to access limitations and existing infrastructure—all of which demand a tailored project execution plan. Seas brings deep experience at this interface, integrating marine and land-based investigation methods to develop a robust understanding and characterization of seabed conditions before design begins.
Stability when conditions shift.
When the ground changes, you need dependable working platforms. Seas deploys modular jack-up barges designed for intertidal and shallow-water environments, creating the stability needed to capture precise ground data, even as conditions evolve.
Configured for flexibility and operated by our own crews, these platforms support disciplined investigation for any nearshore scope.
- Modular jack-up systems
- Sonic drilling, rotary coring and direct push sampling
- CPT top-push and wireline systems
- Up to 25 m depth, extendable to deeper waters
- Fully crewed and managed by Seas personnel
- Active membership of IJUBOA
Move seamlessly between ground and water.
Some environments are tough to access. Our amphibious carrier transitions directly from land to water, supporting efficient investigation across shallow and sensitive terrains without unnecessary disturbance.
- Operates from shallow zones to sheltered depths of 20 m.
- Traverses soft and sensitive soils
- Suitable for wetlands, lakes and protected habitats
- Low ground pressure reduces environmental impact
- Equipped with in-house CPT, seismic, and sampling systems.
Where land ends, the work continues.
Projects rarely stop at the waterline. Seas works across onshore, nearshore and offshore environments, adapting investigation methods to each setting while maintaining the same measured approach teams rely on.
Conditions shift at the shoreline. Our response stays controlled.
