Shallow Sea Bed Geotechnical Logging

COLOG acquired a tailored suite of geophysical logs, including nuclear logging and P-S Suspension logging, from a jack-up barge 20 miles off the coast of Maryland. The geotechnical investigation modeled the rock-strength properties of soft sea floor sediment providing critical information for the turbine foundations at a proposed, world-class, offshore wind farm. Raw data was collected, processed, and analyzed to calculate formation density, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, bulk compressibility, and Poisson’s ratio. COLOG geophysicists were stationed offshore for several months during the drilling and logging of over a dozen test boreholes.
