CTC Marine Projects is unique in managing geotechnical risk. Its in-house team matches geotechnical science with operational experience to select the right burial tools based on the data provided.

The geotechnical team works as an internal consultancy service, providing a full range of geosciences-related support to CTC and key clients, focused on geotechnical and trenching engineering, but also including metocean advice and risk analysis.

Maintaining an extensive operational database, which combined with the use of predictive models where applicable, ensures the selection of the correct asset and that realistic performance estimates are made to comply with client burial goals, and ultimately project success.

Services include:

• Review of geophysical and geotechnical route survey data
• Detailed trenching assessments
• Hazard identification and risk mitigation
• Asset election and burial performance estimation
• Commissioning of research and development, scale model testing
