This review of the aspects and techniques of marine site investigation has been produced by Technical
Committee 1: Offshore and nearshore geotechnical engineering, of the International Society for Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, with the aim of providing guidance and good practice examples
for the collection of site investigation data for offshore and nearshore structures.
Knowledge of seabed soils and rocks is essential if offshore and nearshore structures are to be properly and
safely designed and built. A large part of the commercial and operational risk involved in these works relates
to uncertainties about the properties of soils and rocks at the site. It is therefore necessary to perform
sufficient investigations to evaluate these risks thoroughly. Many geophysical and geotechnical techniques
are available to the engineer to perform such investigations. However, offshore and nearshore site
investigations involve special problems raising the question - what i.....
