The project, which is due for completion in Q3 2016 and is the company\u2019s biggest contract win since its establishment in 2014, consists of a 500kV power cable interconnection construction between Montenegro and Italy.<\/p>\n
Carlo Pinto, Next Geosolutions sales and marketing director, said: \u201cThe large scale MONITA Project represents a milestone in Next Geosolutions\u2019 establishment. We are currently at the survey stage, searching for a viable path for the cables through a challenging section of route, which is made up of a complex seabed and extremely dense presence of debris and UXOs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe survey results are extremely interesting and detailed so we are adopting a combination of our state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge processing methodologies to deliver almost online results and drive productivity on a fast track,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Next Geosolutions is contracted to undertake a large geophysical, UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) and geotechnical survey in support of the cable route design and engineering in water depths up to 1200m.<\/p>\n
The scope will be completed using two DP (Dynamic Positioning) Class 2 vessels: the DP Cirrus<\/em>, currently fitted with a Schilling Robotics HD (Heavy Duty) Work-Class ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) for the geophysical and UXO survey, and the Ievoli Grey<\/em> for the geotechnical survey.<\/p>\n As part of Next Geosolutions\u2019 drive to establish its presence in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, the company exhibited at London\u2019s Oceanology International 2016 in March.<\/p>\n Mr Pinto continued: \u201cWe aim to provide our customers with high quality, cost-efficient solutions by leveraging in-house know-how, assets and resources and by applying a combination of state-of-the-art technology and innovation.<\/p>\n \u201cStarting from joint experience and resources, we have an ambitious plan to expand our international footprint and establish the company as the best and largest independent geoscience and engineering service contractor in the EMEA Region,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n By Rebecca Strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Italian geoscience and engineering service provider, Next Geosolutions, has secured a \u00a312m survey contract from UK-based Prysmian Group for the MONITA Project in the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3004,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-key-deals"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3003"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3005,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3003\/revisions\/3005"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3003"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maritimejournal.com\/get-set-for-workboat-2050\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
