The SEAS Large Box core system provides a
box sample 50cm x 50cm x 50cm (0.125m³).
The Box core samples provide large undisturbed
sediment samples suitable for environmental
studies, macro benthic fauna analysis and
geotechnical analysis.
Our deep water vibrocore system pushes
the limits of vibrocore sampling to 3000m,
well beyond the capabilities of most of our
competitors. When coupled with our multicore
MPS3000 platform our deep water VC2000T
provides a unique opportunity to acquire
samples in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. The MPS3000 system can collect 10
core samples from one deployment off the
vessel. This capability considerably reduces
winch time required to and from the sea floor
making the equipment very cost effective. The
MPS3000 system can host numerous additional
sensors to meet client specifications. With realtime
video feedback the coring procedure can
be closely monitored. The cameras fitted with
pan & tilt function can be turned outward
to monitor the seafloor surface environment
enabling valuable benthic habitat assessment.
The MPS3000 has both low light black & white
cameras in addition to a colour focus and zoom
camera with additional lighting.

The MPS3000 is fitted with 6 vectored
thrusters to assist in sea floor positioning
and maintaining the equipment in a vertical
orientation whilst the coring procedure is
completed. The MPS3000 is designed to be
integrated with vessel existing ROV winch and
umbilical removing the costly mobilisation of
additional winch equipment and occupying
valuable vessel deck space.
All SEAS staff are highly skilled and will be
able to help our client get the best result out
of our equipment with the best information
gleaned from the samples, either via onboard
analysis or onshore laboratory testing. We
have a qualified geologist on staff with 15+
years’ experience in the offshore oil and gas
sector who is qualified to provide technical
support. SEAS can provide environmental
personnel and benthic infauna identification
through expert staff at Western Australian
and Northern Territory Museums.
Our products are routinely used in harbours,
near shore and offshore for a range of tasks
such as:
• Site Surveys
• Pre-Dredge surveys
• Anchor site survey
• Pipeline feasibility studies
• Environmental sampling
• Acid sulphate soil
• Mineral exploration
• Marine research
• Contaminated site surveys … and more.
