UK: Coastline Surveys Completes Short Lead Time Vibrocoring Campaign

Coastline has successfully completed a marine geotechnical sampling campaign on behalf of a Major client in the Southern North Sea area.

The site work was carried out utilising the multirole geotechnical vessel MV FlatHolm and comprised 66 locations.

The C-COREHP vibrocorer unit was configured for both 5m and 6m operations.

The vibrocore unit was also equipped with a ‘real-time’ penetration monitoring system developed in-house to both improve sampling efficiency and minimise sample disturbance, thus improving quality of core sample obtained.

All core recoveries were greater than 90% with a total of 314m acquired onboard.

The work was completed inside 5 days port to port with the vessel remaining on site overnight to maximise a short period of good weather – resulting in no weather downtime costs to the Client.

Acquisition to report delivery was completed within 4 weeks.
