TDI-Brooks has completed a third geotechnical support project for DenAr Ocean Engineering for Phase 2 of the TPOTC Sakarya Gas Field Pipeline Route Investigation and Site Survey Project offshore Turkey.
The programme consisted of gravity cone penetrometer (gCPT) and T-Bar tests in the Black Sea. During this second leg of phase two, 78 gCPTs were collected in 34 to 2168 m of water. It also performed 60 T-Bars in Box Cores (BC) acquired by DenAr.
During the first programme in April 2021, TDI-Brooks acquired 30 Gravity CPTs (gCPTs) with its memory standard 15 cm2 CPT cones. TDI-Brooks’ CPT cones were fitted onto DenAr’s Piston Core (PC) rigs. On box cores, TDI-Brooks provided its Cyclic T-Bar’s using DenAr’s provided Box Cores. The project was conducted on the DENAR 2 vessel over a period of 71 days in the Turkish portion of the Black Sea.
For the second programme in July 2022, TDI-Brooks mobilized its research vessel, R/V PROTEUS, to the Black Sea for ‘heavy’ geotechnical coring/CPT acquisition. This geotechnical programme acquired several dozen 20-m Jumbo Piston Cores (JPCs), 40 m CPT-Stingers and up to 40-m SB Shelby-tube Stinger-Samplers.
