Περιγραφή Προγράμματος: | The scope of the project is the assessment of the seismic stratigraphy, the marine geohazards, the man-made hazards and the geotechnical properties for the implementation of the Front End Engineering Design for the LNG Alexandroupolis project and more specifically for the laying of the submarine gas pipeline. The geohazards evaluation comprises the study of the seabed morphology and the surficial and subbottom structures (landslides, gas-charged sediments, active faults, anomalous relief, channels and canyons, current-induced bedforms etc) from the interpretation of marine geophysical data. Man-made hazards (fishing activity, ship anchoring, dumping sites, wrecks etc) will be also evaluated. The aforementioned data will be mapped and presented in geo-morphological charts. Also, the results of the seismic stratigraphy study will be correlated with the geotechnical properties from the analysis of sediment cores in order to assess the burial potential along the gas pipeline route. |
