Survey Management

Often associated with tight timescales for data delivery and high mobilisation & operation costs, marine surveys are usually on the project's critical path.

​

Working closely with clients and their contractors, we offer a full range of marine survey management services for oceanographic and geophysical surveys including:

 

• Marine survey specification

• Tender appraisal

• Consenting and permits

• Contractor personnel and vessel audits

• On-site Client Representation

• Marine survey supervision

• Through-programme contractor liaison

 

On site Client Representation / Marine Survey Supervision seeks to represent the client's interests by:

​

• Ensuring compliance with the Safety Plan, Risk Assessments, etc., by having someone IOSH certified on board who is independent of the contractor and who is a step back from the hands-on activity. 

• Having someone onboard who understands both the survey process and the way in which the data will ultimately be used, to suggest or authorise variations to the works; the physical site is not the same as it appears on paper.

​

Note:  We specialise in surveys generally associated with coastal and estuarine projects up to 60 nautical miles from the coast, rather than the very different surveys further offshore which are usually associated with the oil and gas sector.​
