- Samples of rock, nodules or cobbles from the seabed can provide geologists with valuable insights into the underlying strata and its properties.
- To obtain these samples efficiently and safely, SMI developed the Chain Bag Dredge Attached to a vessel, the dredge is simply dragged across the desired seabed location, collecting large rock samples while allowing for unconsolidated sediment to wash out.
- Based on customer information about the load strength of their vessel’s wire rope, SMI will provide dredge and safety wire ropes with appropriate load strength
Van Veen Grab
CHAIN BAG DREDGE
CHAIN BAG DREDGE
The Van Veen grab is used for sampling disturbed sediment. This device is used with a rope/cable and is manually controlled. The Van Veen grab is available in four different capacities.
- Fast indication of sediment type
- Size can be designed and manufactured as per customer requirement
- Easy operation
GRAVITY CORER
CHAIN BAG DREDGE
GRAVITY CORER
- The gravity corer allows researchers to sample and study sediment layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans.
- This is an instrument of great strength and easy to use, suitable for coring a seafloor characterised by sediment with different lithological compositions, even compact or soft cemented.
