Seabed SVC500E, the Electric vibrocorer has been designed to obtain cylindrical cores in soft, cohesive soils at a maximum water depth of 50 meters (standard version).

After the unit is placed on the seafloor, the electrical vibration head drives the core-barrel containing the PVC core-liner into the seafloor. The stationary piston system assist in the intrusion of seabed sediment into the barrel with minimum disturbance. After recovery the vibration unit and core can be rotated in a horizontal position to facilitate the removal of the liner with the sample. The slide indicator enables you to check the achieved penetration.
