This includes three and six metre variable frequency vibrocores, Datem Neptune 5000 heavyweight CPT, gravity and piston corers and a number of various sediment sampling grabs.

EMU’s continued investment in equipment, as well as commitment to research and design in both geotechnical and geophysical survey techniques, means that the most innovative solutions are available to offshore developers for investigating and quickly progressing their developments.

EMU employs the most up-to-date equipment available. By combining this with an in-house team of geotechnical experts EMU is well placed to advise clients on the right hardware and most efficient techniques to ensure the best quality data and core samples are obtained within budget and timeframe.
