Offshore engineering is a risky business, where many decisions need to be made on the basis of a fraction of the information available for comparable onshore projects. Design parameters which rely on a knowledge of soil conditions can be some of the most important values to get right, yet are often associated with a high degree of uncertainty.
GeoDDO is a consultancy which provides analysis of seabed and soil data in a format that engineers can use, with over 20 years of experience of providing evaluations of geological, geophysical and geotechnical data for the offshore construction industry.
We understand what the issues are, and how the seabed can determine whether your offshore installation goes smoothly or ends up in a hole; both financially and literally!
