As per website Details:

 

 

Fugro Geonics Pvt. Limited (FGIN) is a joint venture between the Netherlands based multinational Fugro N.V. and Geonics (India) Pvt. Limited, Mumbai, India.

Fugro N.V., a company listed on the AEX Stock Exchange in Amsterdam, is the world's largest company involved in advanced geotechnical, surveying, seismic and positioning services. It has over 260 offices in 66 countries manned by over 9000 employees.

India's technological strengths at extremely competitive rates are now acknowledged globally. Geonics India brings these to the joint venture, complementing Fugro's global reach effectively.

FGIN reflects the desire of the founders to offer the best of both the worlds to clients and seven short years of dramatic growth are testimony to the clients' appreciation of the concept. So is the growing list of clients from a truly diversified spectrum of economy: Oil companies, Government Organizations, Planners, Utility companies and authorities concerned with use of natural resources and infrastructure development.

Positioning Services

The introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has led to rapid advances in positioning accuracy and survey efficiency. Fugro is at the forefront of these new developments with products and services that continue to set new standards.

Fugro Geonics offers a range of positioning services based around differential GPS systems to suit our Clients' requirements. The company serves a wide range of Clients throughout the Indian region, positioning ships, rigs, platforms and other installations. Derivatives serve other marine activities, including defence (mainly in supporting hydrographic charting); telecommunications (for cable laying and repair / examination); dredging and other marine civil engineering projects; vessel tracking and fleet management.

The following systems are available from Fugro Geonics:

 

 

Fugro's state of the art STARFIX Differential GPS (DGPS) service has been developed specifically to meet the offshore community's demand for highly accurate positioning world-wide.

Differential GPS algorithms, developed by Fugro, remove natural and man-made errors from the US Department of Defense's orbiting satellite Global Positioning System. Fugro's STARFIX DGPS service has access to more than 80 land based reference stations, with permanently manned control centres in Houston, Aberdeen and Perth. Real-time data is delivered world-wide over a network of high and low power satellite links.

 

Starfix Plus

 

In addition to our standard STARFIX services, Fugro has developed an advanced dual-frequency DGPS solution to combat the problems of decreased accuracy in high latitude regions, due to ionospheric distortion.

 

The deployment of dual frequency GPS equipment at selected reference sites allows an accurate model of ionospheric activity to be calculated. Data is combined within an advanced vessel mobile system, to provide the user with a stable and reliable positioning system.

 

Starfix HP

 

Starfix-HP is an advance on the successful Starfix-PLUS service introduced to provide a solution for positioning errors resulting from the passage of GPS signals through the ionosphere. These errors are most noticeable in the Tropics and at high latitudes (North and South), particularly during the peak of 11-year solar cycle. Starfix-HP (High Performance) is Fugro's latest innovation in DGPS technology. It is the result of a considerable in-house development effort, leading to a wide-area decimetre level DGPS service that is robust, accurate and reliable.

 

Starfix-HP delivers +/- 20cm accuracy in x-y and +/- 30cm in z axis. The improved accuracy helps to satisfy the needs of Clients and service providers to achieve better precision in their surveys, drawings and databases. Greater accuracy translates into improved safety especially when working close to pipelines and platforms.

 

Sub-sea Acoustic Positioning

 

Fugro are the world leaders in underwater positioning systems. Using Long Base Line (LBL), Ultra Short Base Line (USBL) and combined techniques (LUSBL), Fugro provides the highest levels of accuracy for sub-sea navigation and positioning.

 

Geophysical / Hydrographic Survey Operations

Detailed surveys and assessments of the seabed and sub-seabed are a critical pre-requisite to the cost-effective design of marine structures and sub-sea installations.

Fugro Geonics offers a comprehensive array of survey sensors and trained personnel for geophysical / hydrographic investigations, from inshore single beam bathymetry to full geophysical site investigation spreads. Packages are tailored to suit each customer's requirements, thus ensuring quality and relevance of data, always with a view to cost-effectiveness.

Geophysical Survey Services

Fugro Geonics undertakes a wide range of tasks, including:

 

Port, Harbour and Coastal Surveys

 

Fugro Geonics provides a range of specialist inshore survey systems, vessels and teams to meet the requirements of the port, harbour and coastal engineering and construction communities, including:

 

 

Construction Support Operations

As a leading global player in the provision of offshore field development and construction support facilities, Fugro's goal is to deliver superior quality services that meet or exceed client specifications. Innovative technological solutions, a highly skilled workforce and a track record of success in working with major construction companies makes Fugro the industry company of choice.

Fugro Geonics plays a key role in positioning and survey operations during offshore field development and construction covering all phases of offshore engineering including:

 

 

Rig Moves

Drilling rig operations are extremely costly exercises requiring rapid reaction solutions and minimal downtime. Fugro Geonics provides the following comprehensive range of drilling rig moving and positioning services:

For rig move events, Fugro Geonics can mobilize personnel and positioning / navigation equipment with a very short lead-time.
