Offsore Survey
UMI SAN has equipment for onshore and offshore surveys. Floating barges allows geotechnical surveys in sheltered places, without the action of waves. Where there is wave action, UMI SAN has one self-elevated platforms (jack-up)
- PLAEL – To survey in deeper waters (up to 15m water depth).
UMI SAN has a vessel equipped with a Vibracore System and pipes with 1” to 4” diameters and specially adapted with a moon pool.
