Planning for new ports or harbours, or the modification of existing ones, can be supported with GEMS providing highly technical survey services based on its wealth of experience in this regard.

This process can involve a completely integrated solution. Such a package reduces cost and maximises potential data output.

Determining the ideal location for jetties, breakwaters and other structures can be accomplished using cutting edge technology and techniques. GEMS has completed several projects relating to harbour construction and port design, and can be commissioned for a variety of investigations.

Preliminary geophysical surveys, in-depth geotechnical investigations and metocean analysis of tidal currents and weather conditions can all be carried out by in-house personnel. The company survey and geotechnical vessels can be brought on-site to facilitate investigative studies, and can perform immediate analysis of materials or data.
