Route Services

The cable, umbilical or pipeline route survey involves a dedicated marine hydrographic survey using the route created during the DTS, confirming the route’s suitability and gathering the detailed information which enables the final route engineering to be undertaken.

Using the most advanced geophysical survey tools and equipment including echosounders, side scan sonar, sub bottom profilers and magnetometers, we are able to determine the nature and topology of the seabed. By undertaking a geotechnical survey campaign we then take samples to determine the geotechnical properties of the seabed. This enables us to optimise the cable route and recommend burial and cable protection measures to be taken. Our knowledge of how to plan and engineer for the practical aspects of a shore end or a connection to an offshore platform results in a better system solution for our customers.

Global Marine Group’s GeoCable™ software product is an industry-leading Geographical Information System (GIS) developed internally specifically to meet the needs of the subsea cable industry, with access to over 2 million kilometres of as-laid cable data. GeoCable™ is available to buy as an off-the-shelf package or as a bespoke solution designed to meet individual customer needs.
