the foundations footprint. This complements conventional site investigation methods. · Glory Holes: Glory Holes protect seabed installations by lowering the profile of installed infrastructure below the natural seafloor. The Acoustic Corer technology can locate major geotechnical hazards pre-excavation to assist in the correct placement of glory holes and facilitate informed selection of template and piling locations. · Decommissioning: Decommissioning of subsea infrastructure can require a pre or post verification of the installation site. The Acoustic Corer technology provides accurate reconnaissance prior to or after removal of buried infrastructure or debris.
