The Institute of Engineering and
Ocean Technology (IEOT) was founded in 1983 to achieve self
reliance in technology by innovation, development and acceleration
of the future plans of ONGC. The Institution has developed expertise
in the fields of Concept Evaluation & Risk Analysis, Geo-technical
Engineering, Structural Engineering and Materials& Corrosion
Engineering.
The major strength of IEOT lies in its highly qualified,
trained and motivated technical manpower and various advanced
laboratories and the state-of-the-art software for analytical
studies.
In search of excellence, IEOT has acquired ISO-9001 Certificate
through implementation of quality assurance system. The Geo-technical
Laboratory and Materials & Corrosion laboratory of IEOT
have both been accredited by National Accreditation Board
for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) of Department
of Science & Technology, Government of India.
The Institute is abreast with the advanced technologies through
in-house and collaborative R&D efforts and institutional
cooperation programmes with national and international institutes.
IEOT has collaborations with premier research and academic
institutions like Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai;
Bhaba Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai; Structural
Engineering Research Centre, Chennai; Central Electrochemical
Research Institute, Karaikudi and various other universities
for carrying out studies on different problems related to
engineering in oil and gas industry.
The Institute has also entered into collaboration with
Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), Norway in the
areas like deep-water soil testing and foundation design.
More such collaborations are on the anvil with Norwegian Institutes
in the areas of offshore structural engineering and Risk &
Reliability analysis.
IEOT has already opened its doors to offer specialized services
to outside industry clients and towards that end, it has geared
itself to provide a cutting edge through innovative and radical
technologies in its value added services to the esteemed clients.

Centre
for Geotechnical Resources in India (CGRI)
It is the need of the geotechnical
engineering profession in India to use its resources optimally
by pooling and sharing it. For this to be realised, there is
a requirement to know the facilities and expertise available
in the country and the organisations and individuals that cater
to the profession. The first step in this direction is to have
a centralised information of the resources, expertise and database
available in the country.
This aspect was deliberated during the Special Interactive
Group session of GEOSHORE Conference held in December 1999,
organised as a part of 3 year Institutional Co-operation program
between Institute of Engineering & Ocean Technology
(IEOT)of ONGC and Norwegian Geotechnical Institute,
Norway. To deliberate further on the issue workshop was organised
by IEOT at IIT, Mumbai in December, 2000. Based on the recommendations
of the workshop, Centre for Geotechnical Resources in India
(CGRI) has been opened in IEOT, ONGC.
