Getting the facts right

Field data collection and laboratory services

To achieve this, we have a highly skilled ­field data capture team supported by a full range of fi­eld sampling and monitoring equipment, together with survey vessels, commercially accredited diving teams and access to state of the art laboratory services. This ensures our assessments and surveys provide a solid basis to support smarter decisions.

All of our field teams take safety and environment seriously – with all projects involving preparation of appropriate job safety advices and documentation in accordance with international standards.  We also hold, in many jurisdictions, scientific research permits that demonstrate our commitment to responsible environmental management of our operations and sampling activities.
