Offshore Survey Services

Kordil provides integrated offshore surveys for ports, harbours, cable and pipeline routes, dredging and marine construction. Our services include:

  • Multibeam and singlebeam bathymetry
  • Oceanographic and meteorological measurements
  • CHIRP sub-bottom profiling and UHRS seismic surveys
  • Side-scan sonar, magnetometry and seabed debris mapping
  • Marine UXO investigations for civil construction and archaeological surveys
  • Geological sampling, gravity coring and sediment sampling

Our experienced teams combine survey vessels, specialised equipment and Kordil software with precise positioning, data processing, quality control and reporting to deliver practical, cost-effective survey solutions.

Bathymetry & Hydrography

Multibeam bathymetric map showing seabed depths

Multibeam and singlebeam surveys for navigation safety, ports, harbours, coastal engineering and offshore construction. Depth maps and seabed models support route planning, dredging and marine infrastructure projects.

Side-scan Sonar

Side-scan sonar record showing seabed debris and acoustic shadows

Acoustic imagery reveals seabed texture, objects and debris along survey routes and within construction areas. Side-scan data can be combined with multibeam, backscatter, water-column and magnetic measurements for integrated interpretation.

Marine UXO Surveys

Kordil marine UXO interpretation combining magnetic anomalies and side-scan sonar contacts

Integrated acoustic and magnetic investigations for civil construction projects, including dredging, cable routes, ports and offshore works. Target mapping, data interpretation and diving verification support project-specific UXO assessment.

Oceanography & Metocean

Kordil metocean monitoring buoy at sea

Measurements of currents, waves, tides, discharge and meteorological conditions, together with the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of seawater and inland waters. Monitoring supports the planning and operation of offshore projects.

Marine Magnetometry

Marine magnetometer acquisition display with survey tracks and magnetic measurements

Marine magnetometer and gradiometer surveys locate magnetic anomalies associated with ferrous objects. Survey results support route investigations, debris mapping, marine archaeology and the assessment of targets requiring further inspection.

Sub-bottom Profiling

Sub-bottom acoustic profile showing seabed and deeper reflectors

CHIRP sub-bottom profiling and ultra-high-resolution seismic surveys investigate sediment layers beneath the seabed. Applications include pipelines, cable routes, ports, harbours, offshore platforms and subsea installations.

Sampling & Coring

Sediment core samples arranged in trays for geological examination

Geological investigations include gravity coring and surface sediment sampling, with boring selected to suit the project scope. Physical samples complement geophysical survey data and help characterise seabed and subsurface conditions.
