Geoquip Saentis + GMR600

The vessel is fitted with a dedicated offshore soil and rock testing laboratory, enabling Geoquip Marine’s geotechnical engineers to classify samples and determine strength parameters in real time during offshore operations. This supports on-board engineering assessments such as pile capacity and installation analyses as drilling progresses.

Routine sample handling, photography, classification and secure storage are carried out offshore, with recovered samples stored in a temperature-controlled environment prior to transfer to onshore laboratories where required.

Geoquip Saentis can deploy a range of shallow geotechnical and seabed investigation equipment via the vessel’s stern A-frame. In addition, the vessel can be mobilised with Geoquip Marine’s deep-push seabed CPT systems to support in situ testing requirements.

Accurate station keeping is maintained using multiple DP reference systems, including independent DGPS and acoustic positioning, ensuring precise deployment and tracking of subsea equipment throughout operations.
