Our Approach

We understand that Clients have different technical requirements and budgets from basic positioning to large scale integrated seismic-geophysical-geotechnical studies for site hazards. We understand the importance of flexibility and the ability to respond promptly when required by demanding project schedules. Our flexible approach is customized to meet the specific requirements of each Client and each project in the most cost effective manner.

We utilise the best and most appropriate survey technologies and practises to meet these needs without sacrificing data integrity and report quality. We invest heavily to ensure that personnel are trained and up to date by manufacturers and experts on the best hardware, software and survey techniques. Further, our procedures are under continual review and improvement as we seek to integrate new industry developments, the international experience of our personnel and our lessons learnt from previous projects.

OSL has developed a network of affiliated companies and suppliers which allow us to execute projects of different types or scales, including integrated geotechnical, ROV, environmental or met-ocean studies. We have available some of the best subject matter experts in these areas, quality equipment in-house or available through dedicated suppliers, and alliances with vessel providers from shallow water craft to DP-2 ocean going vessels
