AquaDuctus Geotechnical and Geophysical Surveys

Description du marché

Lot 1 covers the geophysical surveys needed for the project. The survey area is located in the German sector of the North Sea. For Section I the route corridor is estimated to be 117.8 km in length with water depths varying between 15 and 41 metres. For Section II (optional) the route corridor is estimated to be 200 km in length with water depths varying between 30 and 45 meters. Further details regarding service provision - that are not relevant for cost calculation - will be provided after the contract is awarded. Wider localised survey coverage may be required in areas where the seabed topography or geology is less suitable for pipeline installation or nearby infrastructure positions need to be confirmed. This will be decided as the survey progresses. It is anticipated that line spacing for the geophysical survey will be based on a centre line and then 3 lines each side at approximately 75m spacing. The survey parameters (line spacing, equipment settings etc.) will depend on the proposed method of acquisition - vessel, ROV based or other towed system. The aim is to confirm the feasibility of a surveyed route or area during the survey. Further technical specifications are detailed in "B.1.1 Scope of Work Package A (Lot 1)".
