Reducing ground uncertainty
Civil engineers recognise that most of the risk associated with major infrastructure projects actually lies below ground. Early site screening, is a crucial step in mitigating ground risks. Join us at the International Geotechnical Innovations Conference (IGIC) in Saudi Arabia to find out how we derive valuable insights into ground conditions that help our clients avoid overruns and lower project costs.

Case study
Next-generation port surveys: minimal disruption, low CO2 emissions and unprecedented safety performance
When asked to conduct a comprehensive seabed investigation and quay wall survey for one of the UAE’s major ports, our client needed a solution that would minimise disruption to their daily operations. Using our Blue Essence® USV to complete the survey allowed our client to continue with uninterrupted port operations and significantly reduce CO2 emissions and personnel risk exposure when compared to traditional methods.
