Welcoming Andrew Johnson, our Senior Geospatial Survey Manager

CMS GeoScience is pleased to announce the recent purchase of a new site in Falmouth, Cornwall, marking a significant milestone in the company's ongoing growth and development. This strategic move underscores our commitment to enhancing our operational capabilities and strengthening our presence in the region whilst also enabling us to support the development of renewable energy and floating offshore wind in the southwest and Irish sea.
The Gables will support our operations and enhance research and development of new equipment. The site is being updated to ensure it can support our ambitious growth plan and exciting strategy. We're already working on building new laboratories and storage facilities for our equipment, ensuring that we can continue to deliver the high standards of service and innovation that our clients have come to expect. The new facility will serve as the headquarters for our management, administrative and survey teams supporting our future growth.
We will continue to maintain our long-standing presence in Lowestoft, with our warehouse and dedicated berth, which remains a fundamental part of our operations. Our vessel, MV Flatholm will continue to operate from this location, moving between the East Coast and southwest giving us the unique ability to operate efficiently along all sides of the UK and Europe.
We are proud and excited to take this significant step forward which demonstrates our dedication to both the development of CMS GeoScience, our people and the services we provide as well as our long-term commitment to the area. This substantial investment in our infrastructure will enable us to better serve our clients, support our team, and contribute to the continued success of our company.
CMS GeoScience Expands Operations with Acquisition of New Site in Falmouth, Cornwall

As part of our continued planned growth, CMS GeoScience is now offering a comprehensive suite of solutions for geophysical and hydrographic surveys and site investigations. We have decades of in-house expertise to integrate a vast range of state-of-the-art technology to deliver precise geophysical information to mitigate project planning risks and minimise delays and costs in design and engineering of your project.
CMS Geoscience can deliver a fully integrated solution for Geophysical and Geotechnical Site Investigation Surveys. Our experienced team have an enviable track record for excellence in delivering reliable, safe and cost effective site investigation surveys with our own 24m survey vessel MV FlatHolm and our in house proven and robust geotechnical equipment, including High Powered Vibrocores CPT equipment and a range of grabs and smaller corers.
We are delighted that MV FlatHolm has recently undergone and successfully passed rigorous annual inspections by MECAL, IMCA, the MCA and the Irish Port State Authority. FlatHolm will be one of very few UK Code of Practice vessels to carry an Irish P5 licence necessary to work in Irish waters. Our team of geologists and surveyors continues to grow and we are excited about the diverse and challenging projects we are working on this year and have planned for the future.
At CMS we recognise how critical it is to have trust and honesty in all of our client relationships. We do not promise anything we cannot deliver and we will always strive to deliver the very best results, on time and to standard.

Our Marine Geologists, Rory Bardner and Owen Sweeney, travelled to Banbury to attend Equipe Group’s comprehensive Soil Description Workshop (BS5930). Guidance was given by several leading industry experts, and it was a great opportunity for them to refine their logging skills that they use on a day-to-day basis here at CMS GeoScience.
