The authority are proposing to award a series of framework agreements that cover a range of offshore geotechnical and geophysical services to the UK and Ireland.

The authority are proposing to award a series of framework agreements that cover the following service lines:

1) Offshore geotechnical investigation: drilling and coring, downhole CPT (inc Seismic CPT), deep push seabed CPT’s, geotechnical sampling and in-situ testing (including wireline logging and pressuremeter/HPD testing) and laboratory testing;

2) Offshore geotechnical investigation: enhanced deep push seabed CPT’s (inc Seismic CPT) utilising >20t thrust capability;

3) Offshore and nearshore geotechnical investigation: standard seabed CPT’s and Vibro-core sampling;

4) Nearshore geotechnical investigation: drilling and coring, downhole CPT’s (including Seismic CPT), geotechnical sampling and in-situ testing (including wireline logging and pressuremeter/HPD testing) and laboratory testing – jack-up;

5) Offshore geophysical survey: MBES, SSS, SBP and magnetometer surveys (including UXO clearance);

6) Offshore geophysical survey: detailed geophysical surveys (Seismic Refraction, 2D and 3D Hi Resolution Surveys);

7) Nearshore geophysical survey: MBES, SSS, SBP and magnetometer surveys (including UXO clearance);

8) Nearshore geophysical survey: detailed geophysical surveys (Seismic Refraction, 2D and 3D Hi Resolution Surveys).
