KenzFigee was awarded a contract by Fugro for the design and delivery of a LARS (Launch & Recovery System), part of Fugro’s new geotechnical system, the Blue Snake.The Fugro Blue Snake is an integrated LARS and seabed research system combining cone penetration testing (CPT) and sampling technology systems in a single deployment. The system is containerized into a single 40ft container and 10ft control container for easy mobilization with flexible deck space requirements that minimize manual handling. The integrated design of the LARS and the seabed system allows for faster mobilisation and operation. The winch and heave motion systems are fully electric and use a passive CT function to reduce power consumption during seabed sampling operations.
