Multirole Offshore Geotechnics

Calegeo have mobilised the Highland Spirit to efficiently operate a number of geotechnical tools form the same mobilisation.  Moonpool, stern and side deployed deep geotechnical tools in addition to inspection class ROVs can be mobilised, maintained and operated, maximising the vessels operational window for multi-data site investigation.

Comfortable and Spacious

Calegeo are experienced working offshore. Times have changed and the days of a single ‘cornice’ mounted 14” TV, within a smoke filled mess streaming questionable breakfast views are, thankfully, long gone. Calegeo have carefully considered life onboard.

All cabins are en-suite with the majority single occupancy. There are three client cabins, two with separate day/office rooms all with high speed Internet and dedicated telephone access. All cabins have multichannel satellites television. There are two recreation rooms, a conference room and a large on/offline survey room. Through our modern high speed VSAT system, all crew have access to the Internet and low cost telephony. There is a well-ventilated smoking room with direct deck & accommodation access.

Offshore Delivery Team

Marine and Project crews share common goal in delivering to, and wherever possible exceeding, our customer’s exceptions.  Offshore geotechnical project experience runs from the master of the vessel to the AB’s.  Calegeo encourage overlap and integration between disciplines and strive for all onboard to understand the detail and significance behind each project.
