Your Challenges:

  • On-Time, On-Budget Construction: Completing port infrastructure projects within agreed timelines and budgets.
  • Maximizing Operational Efficiency: Enhancing the performance of existing ports to increase cargo throughput and passenger capacity.
  • Strategic Site Selection: Choosing the right location for new port facilities to ensure long-term operational stability.
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: Conducting pre-construction, in-progress, and post-construction assessments to identify potential issues early.
  • Ensuring Site and Environmental Safety: Protecting workers, surrounding ecosystems, and local communities throughout the construction process.
  • Preventing Technical Failures: Identifying and mitigating potential risks to avoid costly repairs and unplanned downtime.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Navigating complex safety and environmental regulations to ensure full project approval.

Our Solutions:

  • Geotechnical and Geomechanical Characterization: Assessing the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of soils to optimize site selection and design.
  • Sediment and Seafloor Characterization: Conducting detailed assessments of seafloor sediments to identify contamination and ensure safe dredging.
  • Object Detection and Seabed Mapping: Locating and mapping large objects on the seafloor to prevent damage to vessels and underwater structures.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Tracking water quality, sediment movement, and ecological impact to ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Bathymetric Surveys: Conducting precise depth measurements to support dredging, maintenance, and expansion projects.
  • MetOcean Buoy Installation: Deploying advanced metocean buoys to collect real-time data on wave height, currents, and weather conditions for operational planning.
