If used early in the project life cycle, OEMG’s IDGM has been proven to:
- Reduce project risk
- Result in significant sustainability benefits (tailor infrastructure to the geology, rather than the geology to the infrastructure)
- Save millions of dollars in project cost
- Improve geological certainty
- Allow Design & Construct contractors to greatly reduce their tender prices and project risk loading and open the tender process to companies who no longer need to manage the high risk and uncertainty levels.
- Help prevent unsustainable or high risk projects / activities.
OEMG Digital Geophysics is a sub-bottom profiling system that uses resistivity techniques modified from traditional land based systems to provide high resolution quantitative and qualitative data of consolidated and unconsolidated sub-bottom strata.Utilising OEMG Digital Geophysical results, engineers have a complete picture of the existing sub-bottom environment. Dredging and construction costs for projects are greatly reduced due to project design being able to take into account existing sub-bottom structures
OEMG’s innovative Integrated Digital Ground Model (IDGM) provides a powerful tool for consulting and project management. Development of an initial model can assist with designing an efficient and cost effective data collection program for the entire project. Once all required datasets are integrated, the decision support capabilities range from a Strategic IDGM that will inform development of a master infrastructure plan to a stand-alone IDGM that will significantly reduce risk for individual projects, potentially saving millions of dollars.
OEMG’s innovative strategic Integrated Digital Ground Model (IDGM) presents a unique opportunity for Environmental Management. Integration and visualisation of environmental data into the IDGM’s GIS environment allows for comparison of large datasets at particular geographic locations, creating a powerful decision support tool that feeds into infrastructure master plans, feasibility studies and the overall Environmental Impact Assessment process.
