Realization of two large-scale investment projects related to development of the transit transportation corridors using the Northern Sea Route started in Sakhalin Region.
Completion of the projects is scheduled for 2027.
In 2022 “Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. performed the following engineering surveys at following facilities as a part of the investment projects implementation:
The following surveys were performed for reconstruction of the existing infrastructure facilities of Korsakov port and construction of new ones: berths №1, №2, №3 and №4, the seawall, operational water zone and approach channel of the Southern cargo district; operational water zone and approach channel of the “Fishing port”; systems of the navigation safety assurance; coal railway overpass; the road and access roads, the road bridge, coast protection, etc.
The field works included the following surveys: bathymetric survey, engineering-geological surveys (drilling of engineering-geological boreholes from jack-up “Krot”, sampling from SV “Diabaz”, drilling of engineering-geological boreholes from the ramp of URB-2D-3 on KAMAZ); engineering-geophysical surveys from “Yamaha” launch (MBES, SSS, SBP and magnetometer survey); engineering hydro meteorological investigations and micro seismic zoning. Laboratory testing of the soil samples were carried out and technical reports were prepared.
Onshore surveys and shallow-water offshore drilling works were conducted at the mentioned facility. Drilling of engineering-geological boreholes on the shore was performed using drilling unit URB-2A on the basis of TT-4 caterpillar tractor and small-size drilling rig “Korvet – 05”; MINI jack-up drilling rig was used for drilling of the engineering-geological boreholes in the shallow-water areas. Survey vessel “Diabaz” was involved in the works within the seaward part of the water area. The engineering-geological cross-section was studied to the depth of 40 m.
In view of the 25 year jubilee of “Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. Certificate of Merit of the Government of the Sakhalin Region was awarded to the General Director Dmitriy Pavlovich Cheremisin for the long conscientious work and substantial personal contribution to development and consolidation of the oil-and-gas industry of the Sakhalin Region. Governor’s Commendations were given to the Director of Engineering Surveys Alexander Mikhailovich Voznyuk and Technical Director Vladimir Anatolievich Kuteinikov. Governor’s Grateful Letter was presented to the Chief Economist Nina Ivanovna Cheremisina.
Pacific Engineering Company Ltd. together with the Sakhalin cinematographers performed the expedition for searching of the sunken Japanese escort vessel CD112 torpedoed by the American submarine SS120 “Barb” in July, 1945. The search was conducted as part of the work on the historical documentary film “Secret of the Anastasiya Cape” of ANO “Creative association of Sakhalin cinematographers” (Director – Alexander Zarchikov). The survey was executed from the geophysical vessel “Diabaz”. Geophysicists of the company Oleg Novozhilov and Maxim Poznukhov explored the seabed by the side scan sonar, and Alexander Zarchikov coordinated the search. The works lasted more than 24 hours, vast area of Aniva Bay was scanned considering the surveys performed by the previous expeditions.
As a result, on November 22nd the sunken vessel was detected at the depth of 38 m at the Anastasiya Cape in Aniva Bay. The obtained sonograms fixed wreck of the war vessel 54 m long; the vessel bottom, deck-house and pipe are clearly seen. Large wrecks are observed all round, supposedly the stern destroyed as a result of torpedoing and detonation of the depth bombs.
“Pacific Engineering Company Ltd.” took part in XV All-Russia scientific-practical conference and exhibition “Prospects of the engineering surveys development in the construction of the Russian Federation” held in Moscow from November 26 to November 29, 2019.
The conference was organized by the staff of “Engineering surveys” magazine together with the “Institute of geotechnics and engineering surveys in construction” LLC. (“IGIIS”). Association “Engineering surveys in construction” (“AIIS”) and “Association of Surveyors”.
It is the first-rate annual event in the industry, 562 specialists from 183 organizations of three countries and 50 cities participated in the conference.
Alexander Voznyuk, Engineering Survey Director visited the Conference.
Article “Results of interpretation of seismic sections in the process of engineering surveys within South-Kirinskoye oil-gas condensate field (shelf of Sakhalin Island)” was published in the magazine “Engineering surveys” #12, 9-10, 2018. Its authors: Geophysics of “Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. – V.K. Leksin, V.I. Samarin, P.N. Liskovy.
About the magazine
Scientific-technical and practical articles covering a wide range of problems which the surveyors face in their work are published in the magazine. The main themes: technology and methods of the engineering investigations; surveys in the severe geological conditions, at the facilities of the oil and gas complex, at the unique and highly technical facilities; working with the regulatory documents; problems of the state expertise undergoing and many other issues.
