Geotec SAS

Geotec SAS was awarded a contract by GridLink Interconnector Ltd under the procurement title “Geological, geophysical and other scientific prospecting services”. The award indicated that Geotec SAS was engaged to support early-stage route and site understanding for the proposed GridLink HVDC interconnector between Great Britain (Kingsnorth / Hoo Peninsula area, Kent) and France (Dunkerque / Warande area near Gravelines). Based on the contract title, the scope covered offshore and/or nearshore prospecting activities typically required during interconnector development to characterise the seabed and subsurface conditions along the cable corridor and at potential landfall areas. This type of work commonly combines geophysical survey data acquisition and interpretation (for example, mapping seabed features and shallow stratigraphy) with geotechnical investigation elements (for example, ground-truth sampling and soil/rock property assessment) to inform route selection, cable burial and protection assumptions, and later-stage engineering and consenting. No contract date, contract value, delivery schedule, survey vessel details, or quantified outputs (such as line-kilometres, number of boreholes, or CPT locations) were stated in the referenced source extract.
