Xpress Geomatics performs geophysical surveys to gather detailed data required by design engineers for the installation of offshore structures, subsea cables and pipelines. That data is used to:
- Map seabed morphology and sub-seabed conditions
- Profile geological features
- Detect geohazards
- Provide a seabed and sub-seabed reference for geotechnical investigations
We operate a fleet of owned vessels which are mobilised for geophysical surveys in the deep ocean, the continental shelf and the shallower nearshore areas.
Geophysical surveys are typically required for:
- Site surveys for rigs or platforms
- Windfarm developments
- Route surveys for pipelines or cables
- Geohazard and fault detection
- High resolution seismic mapping
- Geochemistry
Xpress Geomatics also has a full range of geophysical survey equipment including:
- Multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders
- Analogue sub-bottom profilers (Pinger / Boomer / Sparker / CHIRP)
- Digital sub-bottom profilers (2DHR / UHR)
- Digital side scan sonars
- Magnetometer and gradiometers
Xpress Geomatics also has a full range of geophysical survey equipment including:
- Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
- Environmental sampling equipment
The vessels feature on-board processing and reporting facilities which allows for seamless integration of the data sets which are processed, interpreted, reported and charted offshore.
Xpress Geomatics' deliverables are tailored to meet a client's specific requirements, and typically include hard and soft copies of:
- Factual / interpretive and combined reports
- AutoCAD / PDF charts
- GIS deliverables to OGP/IMCA Seabed Survey Data Model (SSDM) or client specified geo-database schematic formats
