• Minimum five years' experience in offshore survey, metrology, or survey engineering.
• Strong practical understanding of metrology, GNSS/DGNSS, USBL, LBL, hydrographic and site surveys, rig moves, photogrammetry and dimensional control.
• Demonstrable experience working as a Party Chief or equivalent senior offshore surveyor, with a track record of independently executing and delivering offshore survey or metrology projects.
• Experience preparing technical procedures, reports, work instructions, and other project documentation.
• Experience using AutoCAD, DraftSight, or similar 2D CAD software.
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, Word, and Project.
• Excellent technical document preparation skills, including document formatting, tables, cross-referencing, figures, and technical references.
• Strong organizational, communication, problem-solving, and client-facing skills.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, vessel documentation, structural drawings, and other technical information.
• Essential: Experience interpreting dimensional control reports to generate structural, vessel, or vehicle survey offsets.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts and present survey methodologies to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A practical, hands-on approach and the ability to work effectively within a small, technically focused organization.

Education

A Bachelor's degree in Geomatics, Surveying, Engineering, or a related technical discipline is preferred. Equivalent relevant industry experience will be considered.

C-PINS is Zupt’s proven inertial navigation system that delivers the precise measurements needed for subsea jumper and spool metrology. Used on more than 400 projects worldwide over the past 16 years, it has reduced vessel time by an average of 50 percent compared to traditional acoustic methods. This efficiency lowers costs, reduces risk, and keeps offshore construction on schedule.

Compact and self-contained, C-PINS requires a single subsea connection to an ROV for power and communication. Its streamlined design eliminates complicated setup, allowing survey teams to begin work immediately on any vessel, rig, or barge with a work-class ROV. The system is versatile, easy to deploy, and proven across a wide range of offshore environments.

C-PINS provides millimeter-level accuracy in real time, even in shallow water or in the presence of drilling noise and vibration. With live quality control available throughout data collection and a full deliverable provided within 24 hours, it gives clients the confidence to make critical decisions quickly. By combining speed, accuracy, and reliability, C-PINS ensures subsea metrology is faster and more cost-effective.

Capabilities

• Fast to mobilize with a single ROV connection and minimal cabling
• Cuts vessel time by 50–70% compared to acoustic methods
• Includes real-time quality control with error and loop-closure monitoring
• Operates reliably in acoustically noisy environments such as drilling
• Processes data onboard for quick, dependable deliverables.

Applications

• Jumper and Spoolpiece Metrologies
• Pipeline Out-of-Straightness Surveys
• Buoy Setting for Well Installation
• Structure Installations
• Pipeline and Umbilical Installation
• USBL Smoothing
• Sparse LBL and Decommissioning.

Specifications

4,000m rated system

• 26cm diameter by 46.5cm long
• Weight in air 45kg / water 20kg

Accuracy

• Heading: ±0.05° over 30 m baseline. ±0.02° with longer baselines
• Pitch/Roll: ±0.01°
• Pos: ±30 mm accuracy over 30 m baselines

Conclusion

Zupt’s C-PINS has consistently demonstrated that inertial metrology is faster, more efficient, and more dependable than traditional acoustic methods. By cutting vessel time by more than half, it not only reduces project costs but also allows operators to accelerate offshore schedules without sacrificing accuracy. In extensive case studies, C-PINS achieved measurement precision within tight tolerances, including sub-degree attitude and heading accuracy, proving its reliability in even the most complex subsea environments.

Real-time attitude data for transition piece leveling

Leveling transition pieces (TPs) for offshore wind turbines requires precise heading, pitch, and roll measurements. Zupt’s Gyro Box (ZGB) provides this data in real time, in a compact, robust package designed for offshore operations.

How the Gyro Box Works

The Gyro Box houses a defense-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) in a durable, IP67-rated enclosure.

The system is lightweight and compact enough for a single crew member to deploy using a small boom crane. Once positioned on top of the TP, it immediately supplies real-time attitude data to support leveling.

Its crossbar design incorporates two 1-meter baselines with integrated reflective prisms. These allow precise dimensional control even when the unit is mounted out of direct sight of the TP flange.

Placement remains flexible without compromising measurement accuracy, provided the prisms are tied to the same reference frame as the flange.

Deployment and Operational Benefits

• Single-person deployment: A single crew member can deploy the unit using a small boom crane.
• Flexible placement: Integrated prisms support dimensional control when the unit is out of direct sight of the TP flange, subject to the shared reference-frame requirement.
• Real-time measurements: Heading, pitch, and roll outputs support fast decisions during TP leveling.
• Offshore construction: A compact, weather-resistant design provides ease of handling in marine environments.
• Built-in redundancy: System redundancy is incorporated into the offshore wind design.

Offshore Experience

The Gyro Box draws on more than 20 years of Zupt’s experience in inertial technology and is already used on active offshore wind projects around the world.

Its real-time outputs and robust design help reduce operational time while ensuring transition pieces are leveled to specification.

Performance Specifications

• Heading accuracy: ±0.5°
• Pitch and roll accuracy: ±0.2°
• Housing: IP67-rated, rugged and weatherproof for marine environments
• Size and handling: Lightweight and compact for deployment in tight conditions
• Output: Real-time heading, pitch, and roll
