Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity and geotechnical drilling experts Gregg Drilling, a subsidiary of Alaska Native Corporation Sealaska, have formed a joint venture to provide geotechnical services to offshore markets in traditional and renewable energy field developments and cables.
The joint venture combines the expertise and assets of the two companies and will see Gregg Drilling mobilize its seabed drills onto the Armada fleet of uncrewed and optionally crewed vessels ranging from 21m-78m in size.
Pairing Gregg’s deep-water geotechnical drilling capability with Ocean Infinity’s Armada geophysical fleet, and recently enhanced data analytics capabilities following the acquisition of MMT, will expand capabilities for both companies to complete offshore investigations globally. The joint venture will enable more sustainable underwater development, including geotechnical data collection, needed to support offshore wind anchor and foundation design.
