Jet
Probe & Vibracore
Coastal Systems International, Inc. specializes in the
collection of geotechnical data in the marine environment.
Soil samples can be obtained for a variety of sand search
projects for beach replenishment and marine structural
investigations. Jet probes are routinely employed as an
economical approach to obtain general soil characteristics.
Coastal Systems has extensive experience coordinating
and supervising geotechnical investigation efforts at
remote locations in the Caribbean. Landing craft have
been employed to transport soil drilling rigs to various
sites around the Caribbean. Coastal Systems owns a vibracore
system which can be employed to obtain sediment samples
for analysis.
The team of hydrographers at Coastal Systems is experienced
in implementing geophysical equipment such as subbottom
profilers and magnetometers to conduct sub-surface surveys
for dredging and pipeline projects. Seismic profiling
technology is the standard method employed to map geological
features and locate objects below the surface of the
sea floor. Subbottom profilers provide an acoustic profile
of a narrow section of the subbottom directly beneath
the path over which the device is towed.
Applications:
- Remote classification of seafloor
sediments
- Sand source searches
- Marine engineering geotechnical
surveys
- Pipeline/cable site investigations
- Environmental site investigations
- Archeological surveys
- Harbor development
