High Powered VKG Vibrocorer 3/6/9m

Description

The Geoforce High Powered VKG Vibrocorer system is a powerful means of obtaining continuous sediment cores, up to 9m below the seabed in most sediment types in water depths up to 1000m. The high powered model has an advantage over the standard model in compacted and consolidated sand, gravel, till and clay.

The system is offered as a complete vibrocoring solution and is supplied with:
• DNV rated control container with integrated core processing space
• Constant tension winch for safe management of the powerumbilical
• Umbilical sheave
• Core baskets (on request)

Geoforce’s experience with this system allows us to adapt the configuration to suit a wide variety of vessels, by offering a bespoke solution which ensures safe operations but at the same time reduces vessel space requirements.
