Environmental Monitoring and Current Analysis
The marine environmental monitoring project in Ravenna involves the analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of the water column and current studies during the construction phases of the FSRU regasification terminal.
Since 2023, GeoScape has been engaged in environmental monitoring activities across the different stages of the project—pre-construction, during construction, and post-construction—ensuring continuous and scientifically validated monitoring of the marine area affected by the intervention.
Physicochemical Monitoring of the Water Column
Activities include:
- Analysis of physicochemical parameters of the water column
- Assessment of variations induced by construction activities
- Monitoring of marine environmental quality
- Data collection and interpretation according to technical and scientific protocols
The objective is to ensure the protection of the marine ecosystem throughout all phases of the construction of the energy terminal.
Current Analysis and Marine Dynamics.
In parallel, GeoScape conducts a current analysis study to examine:
- Marine current regimes
- Sediment transport and sedimentary dynamics
- Interactions between infrastructure and the marine environment
Current analysis is essential for assessing the hydrodynamic impacts of the infrastructure and ensuring both structural and environmental safety at the site.
Monitoring of the New Breakwater
Current activities focus on monitoring the new breakwater, a strategic infrastructure designed to protect the regasification terminal.
Continuous monitoring of marine conditions and coastal dynamics makes it possible to:
- Verify the effectiveness of the structure
- Ensure stability and safety
- Reduce environmental impact
- Support operational decisions based on objective data
An Integrated Approach to Environmental Monitoring
The Ravenna project represents an example of environmental monitoring applied to large-scale energy infrastructure, where expertise in operational oceanography, environmental analysis, and hydrodynamic modeling converges into a comprehensive monitoring system.
GeoScape confirms its role as a specialized technical partner in marine monitoring, environmental management, and the analysis of coastal and offshore dynamics.
