With 48 years of geophysical survey experience, EGS was a natural choice to perform the marine route survey for the TAM-1 system. Survey activities commenced in March 2022, covering deep-water, shallow-water, and inshore surveys at Florida, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Tortola, and all planned and potential BU locations.
“We were extremely proud to have been awarded the contract to perform the route survey for the new TAM-1 submarine cable system. Drawing on our experience of more than a quarter of a century supporting the submarine telecommunications industry, with more than 750,000 route kilometres surveyed; together with our industry leading survey technology and experienced personnel; ensured that the primary objectives of the survey, by delivering a secure route for the TAM-1 submarine cable system and obtaining high quality information about the seabed to facilitate optimal cable engineering, design and installation parameters, were achieved.”
