Welcome to CMS GeoScience:
This is our story

CMS began with a simple mission: to provide the marine industry with precise and dependable data that builds confidence from the seabed up.

In the 30 years since, we’ve never forgotten that our clients' critical decisions rely on the precision of our data capture. That's why we've developed robust processes, invested in proven equipment and built the best team around it.

Now, as CMS GeoScience, our operations extend across the UK and Europe and are supported by our fully equipped 24-metre survey vessel, MV FlatHolm, and a comprehensive, bespoke suite of geotechnical sampling tools. This enables us to provide rapid and cost-effective support whenever and wherever it's needed.

Central to how we operate is our commitment to health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ). This ensures that what we do has a minimal impact on the environments we work in.

CMS GeoScience has been taking major steps to develop both our capabilities and team. We are proud of our team for maintaining professionalism, safe working practises, high standards of productivity and reporting throughout the work they carry out.

By consistently delivering proven, reliable and safety-first services, we remain a leader in geotechnical and vibrocore solutions across the marine sector, in the UK and further afield. Our bases in Cornwall and Suffolk ensure proximity and efficiency for clients across industries, from renewables, ports & harbours, civil engineering and environmental research.
