Statement

Borehole and shallow core material were collected by BGS during offshore surveys using various sampling techniques such as vibrocore, gravity core and wireline drilling. Geotechnical tests were carried out using hand-held test equipment (penetrometers and shear vanes). This dataset has been managed by BGS over a considerable period of time. Legacy paper records have undergone selective scanning and/or transcription to digital formats, with ongoing QC of the information captured and migration to the BGS Database. More recent data is captured digitally and, where appropriate, loaded to the database. Data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and information is delivered via the BGS web site.
