GEOSEA III: our own means for investigating the seabed
A self-elevating barge operated by GEOSEA itself, with its own crew on board — an own means of putting drilling equipment on the seabed, with no dependence on third-party charter to start the campaign.
Why owning your own means matters
Owning our own fleet and equipment means we don't depend on chartering from third parties to start a marine geotechnical campaign — and that translates directly into schedule: less mobilization time between the decision to hire and the first borehole on the seabed.
The means we put to sea
GEOSEA investigates the marine subsurface — in sheltered seas, open sea, rivers, tailings dams and lakes — with these means:
-
Floating barge
Floating base for drilling over the seabed. The GEOSEA III, self-elevating and with its own crew on board, is the example shown in this page's photos.
-
Platforms
Support structure for campaigns that require a fixed base at the investigation site.
-
Drilling bell
Equipment that supports drilling between the surface and the seabed.
-
Drill ships
Vessels used for drilling campaigns in open sea.
Where we operate at sea
From sheltered coastal waters to the open sea, from rivers to tailings dams and lakes — the same means also support port terminal expansion and dredging projects.
Crew and safety on the barge
The crew aboard the GEOSEA III works in full PPE — helmet and life vest — alongside the spuds and the winch, on every marine drilling campaign.
