STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES
Our staff have undertaken or supervised offshore foundation surveys, the associated engineering and subsequent construction monitoring in most of the offshore oil and gas development areas in this part of the world. Their site investigation experience includes the use of in-situ and model testing, sampling and coring in clays, silts, sands, calcareous and carbonate soils, under and over consolidated soils as well as rocks. Based on this background, their core capabilities include:
  • Integrated Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Investigation
  • Piled Platforms, Pile Capacity, Load Deflection, Pile Drivability
  • Jack-Up Rig Footing Penetrations (Punch Through Potential), Leg Extraction and Interaction with Piles
  • Pile Installation Monitoring (Dynamic Monitoring System / Dynamic Pile Testing / High Strain Test), Integrity Testing, Hindcast Studies and Remedial Action
  • Soil Scour and Hydraulic Fracture Evaluation
  • Moorings and Anchor Holding Capacity
  • Submarine Pipeline Trenching, Mudslides and Slope Stability
Additionally they have carried out a number of nearshore and onshore studies for load-out facilities, shore approaches, port developments, refineries and high-rise buildings. Types of foundation studies carried out include:
  • Deep and Shallow Foundations - Bearing Capacity and Settlement
  • Excavations and Retaining Structures
  • Jetties, Bulk-Heads and Skidways for Load-Outs
  • Instrumentation, Load Testing, Pile Driving Testing, Pile Integrity Testing.
Our staff have also undertaken turnkey water resources developments and conducted a number of geo-environmental investigations. We provide in-house laboratory, perform all standard and selected advanced geotechnical tests. In the following sections, we provide a list of representative projects performed by Somehsa Geosciences and its personnel as well as laboratory services. Our key personnel are actively involved as project engineers and participate in all phases of the projects.
