To assess the short and long term viability of dredging and to ensure correct choice, both technically and economically, of the dredger it is essential to conduct seabed geo­technical and bathymetric surveys. This is often perceived as a large proportion of the design budget and experience is required to minimise cost without compro­mising on quality data collection.

CARES have an enviable track record in surveys of this nature and are able to provide the engineering expertise to conduct the follow-up analysis and recommendations.
