From scope to integrity report
A lean, planned campaign: autonomous where it is faster, ROV where it is needed.
Scope & engineering review
We define the corridor, assets, sensors and data deliverables with your integrity team, and decide where an ROV is still needed.
Mission planning
Survey lines, altitude, sensor settings and safety cases are planned and simulated before anyone goes offshore.
Lean mobilisation
A compact AUV spread on a smaller vessel, mobilised in days rather than weeks.
Autonomous survey
The AUV runs the pipeline or seabed area at speed: sonar, bathymetry, imagery and non-contact CP in a single pass.
Targeted ROV follow-up
Only flagged anomalies get a close-in ROV visit or intervention, so the right tool goes to each part of the job.
Data processing & QC
Data is checked, aligned and processed onshore into event listings, charts and integrity-ready reports.
Integrity reporting
Clear findings and recommendations that plug into your integrity management system.
Why it is faster
No tether
No umbilical to manage, so the vehicle runs at survey speed and works below the weather once submerged.
Smaller spread
A smaller vessel and fewer people offshore than a conventional deepwater ROV spread (35–50 personnel, 75–90 t of deck equipment).
Single pass
Multiple sensors acquire data together, so there is no need to return for each dataset.
Persistent options
Resident vehicles can stay subsea for over six months, docking to recharge and upload data.
Fewer vessel days. Better data.

Figures are drawn from published industry data (technical conference papers, operator pilots and equipment specifications) and are illustrative ranges, not guarantees. Reported results: survey speed about 3–3.7 kn for survey AUVs vs 0.25–0.5 kn for a pipeline-following ROV; inspection time cut from 19 to 7 days on a 155 km pipeline pilot; up to 55% lower inspection cost; 30–40% total survey savings; around 40% less time offshore. Actual results depend on scope, water depth, field conditions and data requirements.
