Geoquip Silvretta

The vessel is fitted with a comprehensive 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 and optimisation of drilling and testing programmes as data is acquired.

Recovered samples are handled, logged and stored offshore in a controlled environment prior to transfer to Geoquip Marine’s onshore laboratories for advanced testing where required.

Geoquip Silvretta can deploy Geoquip Marine’s deep-push seabed CPT systems to support in situ testing in deep and ultra-deep water environments. The seabed system uses a straight rod push mechanism to record in situ data to depths of 40 m below seabed, subject to ground conditions.

Accurate station keeping is maintained using a Kongsberg DP system with multiple reference inputs, ensuring precise deployment and repeatable positioning during drilling and seabed testing operations.
