How do engineers accurately measure the position and orientation between two subsea assets?

One approach is inertial metrology When a jumper or spool piece needs to be fabricated, those measurements need to be highly accurate. Even small errors can mean fabrication that is out of specification, leading to long term integrity concerns. With ...

Engineering offshore technology involves far more than designing hardware and software

Offshore, every system must perform in an environment where downtime is costly, access to clean space workshops are limited, and reliability matters Our core technologies are developed in-house. From concept and design through manufacturing, testing,...

An offshore survey doesn't begin offshore

Long before an ROV enters the water, offshore survey teams are already preparing for the work ahead Experienced offshore survey teams spend far more time preparing than most people realize. That preparation often includes questions like: ???? What pr...

Reducing Uncertainty During Offshore Wind Installation

Small positioning errors can quickly turn into lost time offshore, additional vessel costs, or rework During offshore wind installation, crews are often working with limited visibility to monopiles, vessel movement, environmental forces, and tig...

The offshore industry has spent decades improving the ability to accurately position assets relative to the ROV and sensors used to inspect them

As an inspection progresses, observations, measurements, and inspection findings must remain correctly positioned relative to the structure being inspected Maintaining that spatial relationship is critical for understanding what those findings actual...

Corrosion, free spans, and anode depletion aren't difficult to identify during a pipeline inspection

Understanding their extent is often the greater challenge Without detailed inspection data, it can be difficult to fully characterize observed conditions and understand what is happening along the asset. That's where Zupt's contactless 3D Recon V2 te...

A monopile doesn't have to be far off position to create a costly problem offshore

When installation tolerances are tight, even small positioning errors can lead to additional vessel time, rework, and difficult decisions during construction That's why accurate positioning and real-time monitoring are fundamental to offshore wind in...

High-resolution subsea modeling requires more than cameras and navigation systems

It requires acquisition planning tools that can estimate survey coverage before going offshore Early in developing 3D Recon, we realized high-resolution subsea modeling required more than cameras and navigation systems. So we built 3D Recon Pain...

In theory, shallow water is supposed to simplify offshore survey, but in practice, it often makes metrology harder

Acoustic multipath is often a difficult and time consuming problem to overcome, which adds complexity and vessel time to what would seem like a straight forward LBL metrology Zupt actively pushes for clients to use C-PINS as a time saving metrology s...
