EGS understand that the science of surveying in the nearshore environment goes beyond the mere utilization of offshore survey equipment in shallow waters. Surveying in the nearshore environment requires a specialized set of skills to understand the potentially hazardous conditions of the coastal environment (such as tidal currents and surf zones).

Advanced technological developments linked with more funding have meant that offshore projects are encompassing more of the ocean’s “Blue Water” environments. Whether this is increased ploughing depth to in excess of 1,000m for submarine cable installations, or deep oil/gas drilling programs, EGS is well placed to provide surveying solutions for this environment.

EGS’ services include both a desktop study ability utilizing our vast database resources, as well as field surveying and consultancy.

In the ever demanding Oil & Gas, Submarine Telecoms and Marine Infrastructure Industries, EGS offer bespoke near real-time report delivery by integrating data gathering and processing with onboard charting and reporting to meet the time constraints set by the client. Deliverables are provided in a professional format as per client request, including CAD and GIS formats.

EGS own a large pool of state of the art survey equipments and employ survey techniques such as: Multibeam Echosounding Bathymetry (including the only commercially operated Simrad EM122 1 degree by 1 degree system) High Resolution, Digital Side Scan Sonar High Resolution Seismic Reflection Profiling systems and magnetic instruments for both UXO detection and geological studies.

Furthermore, EGS own a fleet of five permanently mobilized survey vessels, of which two have full ocean depth capabilities, strategically located throughout the world to provide fast and cost effective mobilizations.
