LIA Engineering International deliver comprehensive marine geophysical survey services designed to support offshore engineering, energy, environmental and infrastructure projects at every stage of development. Our geophysical expertise combines high-quality data acquisition, advanced processing and detailed interpretation, providing clients with a clear understanding of seabed and sub-seabed conditions.
Operating in offshore, nearshore, coastal, river and inland water environments, we adapt our survey methodologies to site-specific conditions and project requirements. Our integrated approach allows us to identify potential risks, optimise route selection and support safe, efficient offshore operations.
Side Scan Sonar surveys are a core component of marine geophysical investigations, providing high-resolution acoustic imagery of the seabed. This technique allows detailed visualisation of seabed morphology, seabed features and objects resting on or slightly buried beneath the seabed.
By generating continuous and geo-referenced imagery, Side Scan Sonar surveys support accurate seabed mapping and interpretation, even in complex or dynamic environments.
Key capabilities:
Typical applications:
Sub-Bottom Profiling allows the investigation of shallow geological layers beneath the seabed, providing critical insight into sediment stratigraphy and subsurface features. SBP data are essential for understanding seabed composition, sediment thickness and shallow geological structures.
We use high-resolution sub-bottom profiling systems to deliver clear imaging of the sub-seabed, supporting both engineering and environmental studies.
Key capabilities:
Typical applications:
Our Company provides 2D ultra-high resolution seismic surveys to image shallow subsurface structures with a high level of detail. These surveys offer enhanced penetration and resolution, enabling the identification of geological features that may affect offshore infrastructure and development.
Ultra-high resolution seismic data are particularly valuable for projects requiring a detailed ground model and risk assessment in shallow marine environments.
Key capabilities:
Typical applications:
Our marine geophysical services support a wide range of offshore and nearshore applications. By integrating multiple datasets, we deliver a comprehensive and reliable interpretation of seabed and sub-seabed conditions.
Our surveys are commonly used for:
In addition to offshore data acquisition, we offer remote geophysical data processing and interpretation services. Our experienced geophysicists ensure that all datasets are processed to industry standards and interpreted with a project-oriented approach.
Our services include:
Deliverables are tailored to client needs and regulatory requirements, providing clear and actionable information for engineering, environmental and planning purposes.
We utilise a wide range of state-of-the-art marine geophysical equipment, combined with precise positioning and navigation systems. This ensures accurate data acquisition, reliable target positioning and high-quality results in all operating conditions.
