Home About Offshore Onshore Contact

QA Offshore has experience and expertise to oversee the collection of underway geophysical data such as multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar, high resolution near surface seismic profile data (CHIRP) and deep seismic reflection data.  

 

QA Offshore also has experience and expertise to train, oversee, and run sampling programs using soft sediment sampling systems such as a piston corer (below), which may be used for sedimentological and/or geotechnical studies

Specialist sampling equipment that can be operated by QA Offshore includes items such as a megacorer (right) which returns pristine samples of the sediment-water interface and allows ecologists to accurately identify the full suites of micro and megafauna on the seabed, many of which are usually “blown away” by the bow-waves of more traditional sampling systems such as box corers.
