48、pending on the size of a project and/or the complexity of the geotechnical context and associated risks (geohazards), additional intermediate stages may be necessary. The site investigation should satisfy the requirements given in 3/6.3 of the OI Rules. It is important that the geophysical and geote

49、chnical components are planned together as integrated parts of the same investigation. Data analyses should be considered as a single exercise drawing together with the results of geological, geophysical, hydrographic and geotechnical work, performed by specialists, in an integrated manner into one final report. 3 Desk Study The desk study assembles existing data for the preliminary site assessment and will formulate requirements for subsequent sea floor surveys and subsurface investigations. The desk study should include a review of all sources of ap
