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...

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...

​Zupt offers multiple solutions for jumper or spool piece metrologies, but the real question is: Which solution is right for your specific project?

It is not always a matter of which method is "better," but which method is better for your specific scenario. Some questions we like to ask when a client requests a metrology from Zupt: Are there receptacles already installed on the structure? If not...
