Description
The Geoforce High Powered Vibrocorer system is a powerful means of obtaining continuous sediment cores, up to 6m below the seabed in most sediment types in water depths up to 400m.
The system is offered as a complete vibrocoring solution and is
supplied with:
• DNV rated control container with integrated core processing space
• Constant tension winch for safe management of the power umbilical
• Umbilical sheave
• Custom davit for safe positioning of umbilical sheave
• Core baskets (on request)
Geoforce’s experience with this system allows us to adapt the configuration to suit a wide variety of vessels, by offering a bespoke solution which still ensures safe operations but at the same time reduces vessel space requirements.
