SEISMIC EQUIPMENT

ARCADIO GREGORI S.L., present in the industrial field since the 1980s, develops and manufactures seismic equipment for analysis of the seabed.

Subsurface analysis

The cone penetration test (CPT) is a geotechnical test that involves the controlled insertion of a cone penetrometer into the ground using a series of push rods. During the penetration process, accurate measurements of the cone resistance are made and the friction in the sleeve is recorded. In the case of the piezocone penetration test (CPTU), pore pressures around the cone are also measured.
The results obtained through the cone penetration test are commonly used to perform evaluations in the following areas:
1. Soil stratification: The test identifies the layers and characteristics of the subsoil.
2. Soil behavior: It provides information on the response of the soil to loads and loading conditions.
3. Geotechnical parameters: Calculates and evaluates key properties such as density, strength, deformation, consolidation, hydraulic conductivity and groundwater pressure, being useful in geotechnical design.

Although originally used for the creation of offshore infrastructure, platforms, mineral or oil exploration, it is now used by renewable energy companies for the design of renewable energy companies for the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines, a costly and necessary process in the development of offshore wind farms.

Specialities

V3 SEISMIC SOURCE

Seismic sources can provide individual pulses, generating seismic waves that travel through a medium such as water or rock layers. Some of the waves are reflected, refracted and recorded by receivers, such as geophones or hydrophones. These sensors, in the form of a lance, are nailed to the subsoil by drilling equipment.

CONTAINERIZED LABORATORY

Mobile maritime laboratories are used to carry out the on-site study of the parameters collected by CPT equipment. Recorded signals undergo specialized processing and interpretation to obtain understandable information about the subsoil.
The modular design of the container allows us to adapt it to the most demanding customer needs during manufacture.

WINCHES

Outstanding features:
Umbilical cable weight: 1.1-1.2 kg/m
Maximum traction force 11kn (first layer)
General dimensions (approx. 2000 x 1700 x 2000 mm)
Helicoidal gear box
8 ISO 1161:1984 corner castings with rotating lock
Working load limit with 4 lifting points.

Cone Penetration Test technology

The static penetration test allows determining the continuous pressure required to introduce the cone, the lateral friction and the pore pressure. With those parameters, it is possible to determine and characterize the types of soils present in the subsoil
The elements are deposited on the seabed from the seismic vessel by means of a crane and its corresponding steel cables, as well as controlled from on board.
