Reliable and Accurate Positioning

​

DSMC utilise high specification hydrographic positioning systems in support of our diving and ROV operations. Combining survey systems with our other equipment spreads allows us to:

​

• Return directly to objects on the seabed again and again quickly and easily saving bottom time and maximising production in tidal windows.

• Avoid known subsea assets and obstacles such as cables or ordnance when laying anchors for operations.

• Ensure that seabed searches are completed accurately and completely by utilising USBL systems to record the ground covered.

• Provide evidence in the form of track-plots to UXO risk assessors to prove that search areas have been suitably covered during the investigation.

• Record accurate three-dimensional positions during subsea surveys and structural inspections giving positioning and height.

• Allows us to accurately record and present data from surveys and inspections to a specific height datum such as ordnance datum via triangulation of multiple satellites.
