High Resolution Site Surveys / Edition 1

by Roger Parkinson

Overview

High Resolution Site Surveys brings together the full range of site surveying techniques for the first time, to provide a unified approach to marine and land-based resolution surveying.
Detailed descriptions are given of digital seismic survey methods, hydrographic 'analogue'search and survey tools, non-seismic survey techniques, and positioning systems, including GPS. 'Brite Spot' analysis, and Health and Safety considerations for site surveys are also discussed.
Well-illustrated, and with numerous case studies showing the application of theory in everyday situations, High Resolution Site Surveys is an indispensable guide for the student and practitioner alike.

Editorial Reviews

When from time to time oil companies want to or have to conduct a high resolution and engineering site survey before underwater drilling, they usually hire an outside consultant for the job. That is what Parkinson has done for the past two decades. Here he draws on old survey reports, contractors' data sheets, published and unpublished academic papers, old conference reports, and other material to describe the process of making such a survey. He combines seismic and hydrographic site survey techniques to present a unified approach to marine surveying with an emphasis on bright spot analysis and detecting shallow drilling hazards.
