Because of the size and complexity of these projects, we partner with local firms and technical specialists to build teams that create best-value solutions for our clients.

Clients often turn to us to accomplish the following:

• Design and conduct site investigations for lease areas and cable routes that incorporate the most appropriate geophysical and geotechnical data acquisition methods
• Engage advanced laboratory testing programs for geotechnical characterization
• Manage large amounts of data using online interactive tools
• Interpret data to identify geohazards and develop integrated ground models
• Provide qualified marine archaeologists (QMAs) to assess the cultural potential of the site
• Better understand seafloor conditions, geohazards, and risk evaluations
• Get mitigation recommendations based on hazards and risk assessments
• Analyze cable-soil interaction and provide recommendations for horizontal-directional drilling (HDD)
• Get sophisticated onboard support for investigations, including sampling and testing, real-time investigation modifications, and onboard quality control

Create Resilient, Best-Value Offshore Projects Rooted in Innovation and Comprehensive, Collaborative Teams

In addition to building pragmatic solutions for our clients, Geosyntec’s geohazards practitioners advance the practice of geohazards identification and management through academic appointments, scholarships, and professional research.

At the beginning of a project, we assemble a team that addresses our client’s unique needs. Geosyntec partners with local firms and independent technical talent, working as the prime consultant, as a subcontractor, or in a true partnership. In this way, we aim to broaden the market by joining forces with specialized and local firms to cover necessary fields of expertise and reduce expenses and to make the most of our shared resources, which can include capital, equipment, and employee expertise. Sharing the risk also helps decision-makers work together to find the best-suited solutions for each project.
