Site investigation that gets to the bottom of your project
When you know what’s happening below the waterline, you can make confident design, development and commercial decisions. But only if your data has been captured accurately.
For confidence in your decisions, you need confidence in your data
Drawing from decades of offshore survey vessel experience, our team guides clients through the complex, costly process of seabed investigations with precision and care. We collaborate closely with you to design, procure, manage, and interpret data acquisition, while our fully qualified representatives act as your advocates aboard vessels, ensuring high-quality data collection backed by round-the-clock onshore support.
From initial planning through completion, we maintain rigorous quality standards as our experienced geoengineers verify all data both offshore and onshore. Ternan continues supporting your project through reporting and laboratory phases, providing expert guidance on testing requirements and thorough quality checks of contractor deliverables.

FAQs
How long until site investigation data is available?
Typically it can take many months to turn site investigation data into a ground model. However we have developed software that provides a preliminary visualisation of site data – such as bathymetry and seabed composition – in as little as 24 hours. It enables you to react quickly to initial survey findings, transforming the speed at which key decisions can be made among the stakeholders in your project. Ask us for more information.
