Survey and Design of Marine Engineering

    Established in 1993, Xiamen Marine Engineering Survey and Design Co.,Ltd. is affiliated to Third Institute of Oceanography (TIO) of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and has certificates of Grade A marine engineering survey, design, surveying and mapping, etc. It is a comprehensive research company featuring the geological process of coastal zone and marginal sea and the marine engineering geology study, mainly engaged in research of coastal and seafloor geomorphology, modern sedimentary processes, biostratigraphy and environmental evolution, marine geophysics, marine engineering hydrology, sea area use management technology, etc.

    At present, there are 63 researchers in our company, including 10 of senior title, 23 of sub-senior title, 27 research assistants, one visiting academician and one foreign visiting professor. Third Institute of Oceanography (TIO) of the Ministry of Natural Resources that it is subordinate to can train postgraduate students, cultivate doctoral students together with the Ocean University of China, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan, Beijing), Xiamen University, Fuzhou University and other universities, and provide job opportunities at postdoctoral work center.

    Our company currently owns over 160 instruments and equipment, worth more than 30 million yuan. We are equipped with gravimeter, multi-beam, single-channel seismic, shallow profiler, side-scan Sonar, cesium optical-pump magnetometer, underwater laser particle analyzer, underwater spectrometer, CTD- turbidity-fluorescence-water sampling system, ADCP, ADV, ABS, OBS, underwater video robot, ocean current meter, sediment trap, element analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer, micro-area electron probe analyzer, core physical properties comprehensive tester, plasma emission spectrometer, magnetic susceptibility meter and other investigation and testing equipment, as well as multi-channel seismic, underwater topography, ArcGis and other data processing systems.

    Since 2000, our company has successively undertaken large-scale marine survey and research work, including the comprehensive survey of the marine environment in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the comprehensive survey and evaluation of China's offshore oceans, China's outer continental shelf project, China's hydrate project, the ocean project and sea area demarcation. It has also undertaken research work, including National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program), national fund, early stage of major projects in Fujian Province, key funds in Fujian Province, Youth Fund of the State Oceanic Administration, systematic transformation and upgrading of the Ministry of Science and Technology, international cooperation with the European Union, marine public welfare project, etc. Our company has completed the geophysical, marine engineering environment investigation and sea area use demonstration of Daya Bay, Ningde, Fuqing, Zhangzhou, Bailong in Guangxi, Changjiang in Hainan and other nuclear power plant sites, as well as the survey and design consultation and demonstration work for large and medium-sized marine coastal engineering, including Xiamen Xiangshan International Yacht Wharf Engineering Environmental Survey and Design, Xiamen Huandao Road (Xiangshan-Changweijiao) Beach Restoration, Comprehensive Improvement and Construction Project of Xiamen East Coastal Area. More than 300 papers and over 10 monographs have been published. It has provided accurate and reliable scientific data and technical support for national marine resources development, marine environmental protection, disaster prevention and reduction, and marine engineering construction, etc., achieving great economic and social benefits.
