Oceanographic Studies

EGS undertakes oceanographic studies to support infrastructure developments. In the coastal zone, these can range from dispersion and dilution studies for a new outfall, through to major integrated studies designed to characterise the metocean environment and the resulting sea bed response which will underpin front end engineering design of developments such as a marine export terminal for LNG. In deep water, EGS undertakes investigations for oil and gas exploration. EGS has a large spread of oceanographic equipment which includes high frequency single-point current meters, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), tide gauges, suspended sediment instruments, sea bed grabs and water samplers.

ADCP Surveys


Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) and other modern oceanographic are able to identify subtle changes in the measured parameters, which cannot be discerned by traditional instrumentation. EGS has extensive experience using these instruments in a variety of applications. EGS has pioneered the development of innovative ways to graphically represent large data collections, to highlight these subtleties. This assists the engineer in understanding the dynamic behaviour of the water column.
