GMC200 Seabed CPT System
The system provides a continuous profile of tip resistance, sleeve friction and pore water pressure, supporting the derivation of key engineering parameters including in situ shear strength in cohesive soils and relative density in non-cohesive soils.
The GMC200 seabed CPT system delivers a maximum push capacity of 200 kN (20 tonnes), enabling the recovery of high-quality in situ soil data to depths of 40 m or more below the seabed, depending on ground conditions. The system is capable of operating in water depths ranging from 20 m to 2,000 m.
The GMC200 can be configured with a range of cone sizes (10 cm² or 15 cm²) and can optionally be deployed with seismic CPT cones, T-bar and ball PCPT equipment, allowing testing methodologies to be tailored to project-specific requirements.
Designed for operational flexibility, the system can be mobilised on a vessel of opportunity or deployed from Geoquip Marine’s DP2 fleet, enabling rapid mobilisation and efficient integration into offshore site investigation campaigns.
