2013, Fugro, Beatrice, UXO Survey Campaign

Fugro EMU were commissioned to undertake a survey and provide high-resolution bathymetry, sidescan and magnetometer data in order to allow the production of UXO sign-off certificates prior to the commencement of geotechnical operations. The original survey scope consisted of 40 sites, 150 m x 150 m in size. An additional 5 sites were later added to the survey scope. The project commenced with the mobilisation of the RV Discovery on the 25th July 2013. Mobilisation continued until the 31st July 2013 when the vessel transited to Wick, Scotland. Operations commenced on the 5th August and continued on a 24-hour operations basis until completion of the additional survey areas on the 6th September 2013.
