Marine Geophysical

MHS provides a comprehensive marine geophysical service using reflection seismic and sub bottom profiling with dedicated boomer and pinger systems.

Key Benefits

  • High resolution, 'shallow' penetration reflection seismic for engineering investigation.
  • High resolution sub bottom profiling for definition of sediment layers and pipeline location.
  • Analysis and reporting of field data by experienced marine geophysicists.

Capabilities

MHS provides marine geophysical investigations for marine requirements including oil rig site surveys, foundation investigation, offshore construction, port development investigation, dredging investigations, coastal developments and ocean outfalls.

Capability 1
A Scheidegg Research BOOMER catamaran powered by a modified EG&G 234 energy source with output of 100 to 300 joules and a firing rate of 2pps from external trigger is the system used by MHS. Return signal is received via an 11 element hydrophone array streamer and recorded to an EPC 1600 line scan recorder using a 100 millisecond time base.
Capability 2
MHS Pinger system is comprised of a GEG Sargent developed signal generator and a towed catamaran with 4xEG&G 2.5kHz transducers. Return signal is received via an 11 element hydrophone array streamer and recorded to an EPC 1600 line scan recorder using a 100 millisecond time base.
Capability 3
Experienced marine geophysicists are available to MHS to process, analyse and report upon raw field data. Where necessary, geophysicists attend site during the field data collection.
