Offshore Geotechnical Site Investigation

CPT, piston coring, and lab testing campaign for foundation design — scoped, executed, and reported in one system.

Synthetic case study. Representative offshore workflow. No client data used. For demonstration only.

Operational pain points

Representative challenges SurveyIQ addresses — synthetic scenario, not a client claim.

  • Geotechnical scopes list test locations separately from marine and HSE approvals.

  • CPT and coring run sheets are paper-based and reconciled late in the campaign.

  • Lab submission tracking lacks linkage to field sample IDs and chain-of-custody.

  • Foundation designers receive data packages without operational context or audit trail.

Representative workflow in SurveyIQ

From scope intake to deliverables — a demonstration workflow for geotechnical site investigation.

  1. 01

    Scope intake

    Upload or paste the geotechnical investigation scope. SurveyIQ structures objectives, methods, and deliverables for review.

  2. 02

    Missing information

    Blocking and advisory gaps are surfaced early — vessel nomination, sensor configs, reporting templates, and interface points.

  3. 03

    Procedure pack

    Draft acquisition, HSE, marine, and reporting procedures are generated with source references for human approval.

  4. 04

    Work packages

    Approved procedures become executable work packages with owners, dependencies, and readiness states.

  5. 05

    Command center

    Offshore teams work from one project truth — department cards, stop-work awareness, and today's plan.

  6. 06

    Logbook & evidence

    Department logbooks capture events, downtime, QC snapshots, findings, and DPR source notes in real time.

  7. 07

    DPR & deliverables

    Daily progress reports and final deliverables are assembled from verified project facts, not end-of-shift reconstruction.

Example scope elements

  • CPTu profiles at foundation footprint and anchor locations.
  • Piston cores for laboratory strength and classification testing.
  • Seabed video for sample location context.
  • Lab testing schedule with turnaround tracking.
  • Geotechnical interpretive report and data deliverable package.

Representative outcomes

Illustrative metrics for demonstration — not measured client results.

Sample traceability

Field-to-lab

Chain-of-custody indexed from coring event to lab result.

CPT refusal handling

QC-flagged

Refusals logged with work-package context for redesign loops.

Lab turnaround

Tracked

Submission and result states visible in command center.

Designer data package

Structured

Deliverable register defines issue gates before release.

Frequently asked questions

Can lab submissions link to field sample IDs?

Yes. Geotechnical logbooks maintain chain-of-custody from coring through lab results.

Does SurveyIQ handle CPT refusal events?

Refusals are QC-flagged and logged against work packages for engineering review.

Is this real geotechnical data?

No. All locations, profiles, and lab references are fictional representative examples.
