We conduct hydrographic and geophysical surveys and more commonly projects combining both these disciplines. From adhering to IHO S-44 standards (ranging from Exclusive Order to Order 2), typically reserved for ensuring vessel navigation safety, supporting dredging operations, and producing navigational charts, to conducting route and engineering surveys, search operations, pipeline inspections, and infrastructure mapping, as well as environmental and habitat assessments and feasibility studies.
With an extensive inventory of survey equipment, we offer hydrographic and geophysical survey solutions from coastal environments to full ocean depths. Our typical projects involve using high-resolution multibeam echo sounders (including shallow water-specific and deep water-specific systems), side scan sonars, sub-bottom profilers (pingers, chirps, sparkers, boomers), high-resolution digital seismic systems, and refraction systems.
In the Energy, Submarine Telecommunications, and Marine Infrastructure sectors, EGS delivers near real-time reports by seamlessly integrating data acquisition and processing from multiple survey equipment, meeting client deadlines. This can all be achieved offshore or from our Remote Process Centres as per project requirements.
Our offshore construction personnel possess diverse expertise, enabling us to customise teams according to your project requirements. Our project managers, engineers, and surveyors are encouraged to be innovative in finding optimal solutions for our clients, seamlessly integrating with existing teams to reduce costs and enhance safety throughout the project lifecycle.
EGS provides a comprehensive suite of survey and positioning services to support offshore construction, including:
We deploy equipment, offshore, near shore or onshore for measuring wave height, weather or currents through the whole water column for short term; over a few days, or long term; over several years. We also routinely measure multiple seawater parameters, either on the sea surface or as a profile through the whole water column, such as temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and methane.
We will plan and deploy equipment arrays needed to model tide datums over your work area. This can range from complex water level measurements from multiple sensors over a large area for several months to a single tide gauge installed on shore for a matter of hours. We will recommend the best cost-effective solution tailored to your requirements.
By integrating these geotechnical methods with EGS’s geophysical and hydrographic expertise, the EGS Group delivers a comprehensive suite of geo-survey services. This enables accurate seabed characterisation, supporting confident and informed decisions in marine infrastructure development.
EGS has been surveying the deeper, more remote parts of the world's oceans for over half of a century. As a premier provider of global marine geoscience solutions, EGS supports the growing marine minerals industry with advanced services that reduce risk, accelerate exploration, and streamline development built on decades of deepwater and remote operations survey experience.
We provide Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs) detection surveys for all types of offshore projects. Typical clients include port authorities, oil & gas companies, renewable energy companies, cable installers, dredgers, and offshore contractors. We offer bespoke solutions, often working with UXO consultants, to generate survey designs to optimise efficiency whilst acquiring high density, high quality data for UXO assessment.
Working in accordance with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS 09.06) and Offshore Wind Accelerator Guidelines, EGS would typically deploy the following equipment for UXO detection surveys:
For over 50 years, EGS has been synonymous with professional excellence, delivering unmatched efficiency and precision. Today, we're taking innovation to the next level.
With advancements in data transfer and the power of our globally distributed yet independently functioning Remote Processing Centres (RPCs), EGS has increased the efficiency of survey acquisition, data processing and reporting like never before.
