Abstract: In the construction of seaports,bridges,wind power and other coastal projects,geotechnical investigations involve tidal flats or intertidal zones.These areas have characters of inundation at high tide,posure at low tide,loose soil and low bearing capacity,so that the survey platform can not be erected,the road can not be opened,The car and ship can not enter,giving survey and geotechnical testing difficulties.In summary,an amphibious platform with platform lifts,self-navigation,track walking and adaptive leveling is proposed.Operators use different purposes exploration equipment to complete exploration and sampling or a package of geotechnical test project to meet the needs of the basic design of modern water transport projects.The method created provides a useful reference for the integrated design of Chinese survey and equipment.
