The installation team needs to track a monopile’s descent all the way to its target elevation. But GNSS visibility at the hammer can become restricted as the pile moves lower.

Cranes, slings, spreader bars, and other deck equipment can obstruct satellite signals. On a floating vessel, the measurements also need to account for vessel motion.

The team still needs to know: how quickly is the pile descending, and how close is it to the intended elevation?

Zupt’s iRTS keeps the GNSS positioning reference high on the vessel and uses robotic total stations to track prisms on the hammer or gripper. An integrated inertial measurement unit accounts for vessel motion.

This provides real-time elevation and penetration-rate data without relying on GNSS reception at the hammer, helping the team monitor for pile run and follow the approach to final elevation.

We are pleased to spotlight Will Brooks, Equipment Coordinator and one of Zupt’s offshore Party Chiefs. Will has been with Zupt for almost four years, working both on equipment preparation and in the field.

Will’s work spans equipment preparation onshore and survey operations offshore. He keeps survey equipment ready for the next job, handling quality control, maintenance, and mobilization. Offshore, he collects and processes field data to help keep survey operations running smoothly.

During his time at Zupt, Will has supported projects for Chevron, Shell, OXY, and Saipem, with assignments taking him across North and South America, Europe, and West Africa.

Thanks, Will, for the work you put in onshore and offshore.

Before you can retrofit insulation to a subsea spool, you need to understand its installed geometry.

Bends, diameter changes, supporting structures, and seabed clearance all matter when planning work around existing pipework.

For a 30-inch export spool offshore Australia, Zupt used ROV-mounted 3D Recon to capture that geometry and provide dimensional data for an insulation subcontractor.

Completed in October 2022, the survey involved modeling the spool, associated structures, and a separate pipeline field joint.

Our offshore team divided the spool into four survey sections, repositioning targets as work progressed while retaining shared reference points to connect the datasets.

The resulting 3D models allowed Zupt to extract bend angles and measure field-joint clearance to the seabed. High-resolution images and pseudo video accompanied the model deliverables.

What that means for your project:

• Installed geometry captured in a model that engineers can measure to the millimeter.

• Pipework, supports, and surrounding clearances viewed together.

• Dimensional information to support retrofit planning.

3D Recon provided the modeling capability. Our survey team planned the acquisition and turned the data into measurements relevant to the work.

The right technology and the right people can change how much time, equipment, and personnel an offshore survey requires.

Zupt combines survey systems developed in-house with the field experience to put them to work.

What that means for your project:

🟧 Technology built for the task: C-PINS inertial metrology, 3D Recon subsea inspection and modeling, and iRTS monopile positioning address specific offshore measurement challenges.

🟧 Engineering and operations working together: We design, build, and operate our systems, giving projects direct access to the people who understand the technology.

🟧 Field experience that counts: More than 400 inertial metrologies, 600+ structures inspected, and over 20 years supporting offshore projects.

🟧 Support shaped around your project: An experienced, responsive team, with remote survey options that can reduce offshore personnel requirements.

Together, these help operators reduce vessel time, manage risk, and get accurate data for critical offshore decisions. Find out more: https://zupt.com/about-us?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=right_technology

Zupt has signed an agreement with Mitang to serve as our local partner in Brazil.

The agreement brings together our subsea metrology and 3D imaging capabilities with Mitang’s offshore survey experience and local commercial and operational support.

As part of this agreement, C-PINS equipment for offshore and remote metrology, along with 3D Recon for subsea imaging and 3D modeling, will be available in Brazil.

Having equipment available in-country is intended to reduce repeated international shipping and give our teams more flexibility when preparing for upcoming projects.

We look forward to working with the Mitang team to support operators and contractors offshore Brazil.

Monitoring a subsea structure during installation does not have to mean mounting a sensor directly to it.

Zupt’s HaloCAM combines inertial navigation and machine vision to provide contactless, real-time positioning and attitude data for conductor casings, monopiles, and suction piles.

Mounted on an ROV, HaloCAM observes fiducial targets installed on the structure. Camera and inertial data are processed within a single subsea housing, giving the installation crew continuous information about orientation and position.

The active sensor stays on the ROV, reducing the need to install and recover expensive sensors on the structure.

HaloCAM provides:
🟧 Pitch and roll accuracy of ±0.1°
🟧 Heading accuracy of ±0.15° secant latitude
🟧 Absolute positioning at the same accuracy as the supporting USBL/LBL solution

Clear target visibility and dimensional control between the targets and structure are required. The ROV can maintain a 2–4-meter standoff, with updates unaffected by vibration, hammering, or jetting during installation.

Before an ROV leaves a subsea structure during an inspection, the offshore team needs to know whether the required coverage has been captured.

The engineers reviewing that inspection also need data they can measure and use to assess asset condition.

Zupt’s 3D Recon V2 connects those stages. Real-time dense reconstruction allows operators to assess coverage during acquisition. Offline processing produces detailed 3D models for contactless measurement and engineering review, alongside still images and conventional video.

Within Fast Digital Inspection, that imaging capability can be combined with other inspection technologies to provide a broader assessment.

A case study published by Zupt in July 2025 documents a campaign combining 3D Recon with Ocean Floor Geophysics’ iCP system. More than 400 subsea structures were inspected across three deep-water developments. The integrated campaign reported a 40% reduction in vessel days compared with traditional inspection methods.

That result reflects the combined planning, technologies and offshore workflows used in that campaign.
