The services consist of integrated survey: geophysical and geotechnical to be performed in the Biscay Gulf in water depths ranging between 0 and approximately 80 m LAT in Spanish waters.

The purposes of the geophysical and geotechnical investigations are the determination of the detailed seabed conditions and stratigraphy with detailed characterization of the materials in the surface and sub-surface soil layers in order to inform the installation of submarine cables. UXO survey could potentially be required as well.

The geophysical investigation shall include both surface and sub-surface survey (sub-bottom profiling).

The purpose of the UXO survey is to ensure an as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) UXO risk at each anticipated geotechnical location to be investigated during the subsequent geotechnical survey. The execution of the UXO survey will be subjected to the risk mitigation strategy adopted.

The geotechnical investigation shall consist in CPTs, vibro cores, rock cores and similar.

It includes the collections of quality samples of soil and rock to be tested onshore and offshore for the determination of physical and mechanical properties, to support the interpretation of the geophysical data.
