VKG Vibrocorer 3/6m

VKG Vibrocorer 3/6m

The Geoforce VKG Vibrocorer system is a powerful means of obtaining continuous sediment cores, up to 6m below the seabed in most sediment types in water depths up to 250m.

The system is offered as a complete vibrocoring solution and is supplied with:

• DNV rated control container with integrated core processing space
• Constant tension winch for safe management of the power umbilical
• Umbilical sheave
• Core baskets (on request)

Geoforce’s experience with this system allows us to adapt the configuration to suit a wide variety of vessels, by offering a bespoke solution which ensures safe operations but at the same time reduces vessel space requirements.
