Sea Floor Drill Systems

Reverse circulation mode sample collection of drill cuttings in 1 metre sections to a maximum depth of 6 metres below seafloor.

Sea floor drill systems.

This 469 foot 143 meter ship can drill in water that is 27 018 feet 8 234 meters deep. Ocean floor drilling continues today with a larger and more technologically advanced ship the joides resolution. With the outrigger fitted the drill can be deployed onto soft ground and on slopes up to 15 degrees. When scientific ocean drilling began in 1968 the theory of plate tectonics was a subject of active debate.

The legs keep the drill above the seafloor around the sample site preventing ground compression where sampling is taking place. The crd100 can be fitted with four outrigger legs to prevent sinking in soft soil conditions. In addition to providing hydrographic systems and service seafloor is a leading manufacturer of unmanned surface vessels usvs. Seafloor systems has 20 years of experience delivering high performance hydrographic survey solutions to the marine industry.

Rated up to 4 000 m water depth fugro s deepwater seafloor drilling systems were designed by geotechnical engineers and drilling professionals. Our remotely operated systems feature flexible deployment platforms that can be mobilized on a wide range of vessel profiles. One key idea was that new ocean crust was created at ridges. Williamson associates has been developing seafloor drilling and sampling systems since 1991.

Fugro s seafloor drills sfd combine proven drilling technology with rov telemetry for offshore geotechnical and geohazard site investigations with the systems. Rotary mode continuous 6 metre core. The opd was designed and built to be rapidly deployed in a single 6 metre borehole. Vibrocore mode continuous 6 metre core.
