The Manta 200 CPT
Reliable, agile and cost-efficient offshore geotechnical testing
Building on proven seabed Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) expertise, we have invested in a new Geomil Manta 200 - a versatile CPT system for offshore energy projects.
This compact in-house system allows to respond faster to client requests, reduce logistics complexity and ensure consistency, reliability, and flexibility.
Perfect for shallow-water applications, the Manta 200 kN system is ideal for conducting CPT for wind farm developments. It can also be used in deep water (up to 1500 m) settings for other offshore energy initiatives.
Reduction in personnel on board (POB) compared to traditional drillship operations
Up to 60% reduction in mobilisation and operational costs compared to traditional drillships
How Manta 200 CPT works
The Manta 200 CPT is a compact, containerised seabed CPT system that can be quickly mobilised on vessels, removing the need for specialist drill ships. Once deployed to the seabed, its continuous drive mechanism pushes the cone smoothly into the ground, capturing real-time data on soil strength and stratigraphy for foundation and cable-route planning.
With adjustable ballast and a modular design, the Manta 200 CPT adapts easily to different water depths and seabed conditions, providing a reliable and efficient solution for offshore geotechnical investigations.
The Manta 200’s modular and ballast-adjustable design allows it to be configured precisely for the project at hand, offering flexibility across a wide range of offshore geotechnical tasks.
Act on cost, control and operational efficiency for every shallow-depth decision
Proven across offshore wind and port projects with repeatable precision, the Manta 200 kN CPT system provides cost-effective foundation insight without compromising quality. Backed by UTEC’s in-house specialist team, this compact and versatile CPT system ensures consistency, maintenance and data integrity.
Reducing logistical and environmental footprint
The Manta 200 CPT has a modular setup and is compact in size compared to traditional drillships, resulting in reduced mobilisation time and minimised environmental impact.
Maintaining penetration for rapid, dependable results
Its new-generation, continuous drive system provides excellent durability and high production.
Adapting to soil conditions
Its adjustable ballast system and modular design deliver exceptional versatility and operational flexibility. It can be used from soft soils like clay to very dense and gravelly sands. Its two configurations make it suitable for almost any project, from shallow to deep water (up to 1,500 m).
