PROJECTS
HELMS was initially set up to pursue offshore windfarm (OWF) geotechnical investigation projects particularly in Taiwan. At the same time HELMS offered seabed testing using its Seabed CPT and Vibrocore. As clients in OWF are making the use of DP2 vessels as mandatory and when HELMS was awarded with a long term soil boring using a DP2 vessel with Petronas Carigali, the company is now able to serve both the OWF as well as the Oil and Gas sectors.
HELMS has an extensive track records in offshore geotechnical and survey projects internationally. The most recent ones are as follows:
