Introduction
Hydro Survey, commissioned by DP Energy, conducted a comprehensive geophysical survey of the Inis Ealga Marine Energy Park site off the coast of County Cork, Ireland. The survey, carried out in September 2022, involved the deployment of advanced technologies such as Ultra-High-Resolution Seismic (UHRS), multibeam, and multibeam backscatter to map the underwater landscape in detail.

What we delivered
The resulting detailed ground model revealed significant geological features, including buried valleys and fault structures, providing critical insights for the development of a sustainable marine energy park.
The survey vessel, ILV Granuaile, equipped with state-of-the-art seismic equipment, collected high-quality data over a period of 1 Week. Real-time quality control ensured optimal data acquisition, and subsequent onshore processing enhanced the data’s clarity and interpretability.

We engaged Terra Survey to undertake an extensive geophysical survey of existing flood defences predominantly to the west of Limerick City. We were particularly interested in understanding the depths of any soft soils and the potential presence of karstic features in the bedrock. Terra Survey reviewed our proposed survey and advised on tweaks to optimise the survey to ensure we gathered all of the required information. Terra Survey’s site team undertook the survey promptly in very challenging terrain. The report produced by Terra Survey on completion of the fieldworks was to a very high standard. We were delighted with Terra Surveys inputs to the project and we look forward to working with them again in the near future.
