A monopile doesn't have to be far off position to create a costly problem offshore.

When installation tolerances are tight, even small positioning errors can lead to additional vessel time, rework, and difficult decisions during construction.

That's why accurate positioning and real-time monitoring are fundamental to offshore wind installation campaigns.

Zupt works with offshore wind installation teams to provide the positioning and monitoring data needed during monopile installation, transition piece leveling, and other critical phases of construction.

At Global Offshore Wind 2026, we'll be discussing these challenges and how our technologies support monopile positioning, rate-of-penetration monitoring, and integrated sensor systems.

Another round of metrology preparation is underway as we get ready for an upcoming offshore metrology campaign in Angola.

Using Zupt’s C-PINS inertial metrology system, the team continues supporting offshore operations with fast mobilization, real-time quality control, and reliable subsea positioning data. The compact single-connection setup helps simplify offshore deployment while maintaining the accuracy needed for demanding subsea work.

Early in developing 3D Recon, we realized high-resolution subsea modeling required more than cameras and navigation systems.

It required acquisition planning tools that could estimate survey coverage before going offshore.

So we built 3D Recon Painter, a planning and simulation tool designed to evaluate subsea survey coverage before acquisition begins.

The concept is simple

Import a CAD or STL model of the structure into the software and simulate the survey before deployment.

The system evaluates coverage based on:

🔸 Planned trajectory
🔸 Line spacing
🔸 Along-track speed
🔸 Vehicle offset from the structure

Before acquisition starts, crews can estimate:

🔸 Coverage quality
🔸 Survey duration
🔸 Expected data volumes

Then offshore, the same system runs live using navigation data streamed directly from the ROV.

As data is collected, the structure transitions from red to green in real time to show where sufficient coverage has been achieved for high-resolution modeling.

The goal is straightforward:
Make subsea reality capture more predictable, repeatable, and operationally scalable.

Tools such as 3D Recon Painter can reduce the need for dedicated survey specialists offshore by giving crews a live visual interface to confirm coverage during acquisition.

Sometimes the biggest improvement in offshore workflows isn’t better sensors.
It’s giving operators better visibility into the data they’re collecting.

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 straightforward LBL metrology.

Zupt actively pushes for clients to use C-PINS as a time-saving metrology solution, ESPECIALLY in shallow-water environments.

Zupt’s C-PINS system delivers:

🟧 Millimeter-level accuracy in any water depth
🟧 No acoustic array requirement
🟧 Reliable performance in noisy environments
🟧 Faster deployment and accelerated turnaround

Instead of working around acoustic limitations, the approach removes many of them entirely.

For operators focused on reducing offshore time while maintaining positioning confidence, that changes the conversation.

Especially in shallow-water projects where efficiency matters just as much as precision.

Most photogrammetry data gaps aren’t discovered offshore.

They show up later.

🟧 Coverage gaps only appear during post-processing
🟧 Complex asset geometry hides missed areas
🟧 Rework means additional vessel time

3D Recon V2 changes that workflow.

In this clip, the system is generating a dense 3D model live while simultaneously tracking survey coverage.

Operators can immediately see:

🟧 What’s been captured
🟧 Where coverage is complete
🟧 Where gaps still exist

Result:

🟧 Gaps identified before leaving site
🟧 Reduced rework
🟧 Less offshore time

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, can custom metrology receptacles be designed?
🟧 Is the metrology taking place from a drill rig?
🟧 Does the client need the metrology deliverable within 12 hours of the survey?
🟧 Is the metrology site somewhere geographically difficult to mobilize to?
🟧 How valuable is saving an hour of vessel time?
🟧 What are the required metrology tolerances?

Zupt’s C-PINS inertial metrology solution is a trusted solution, having been used for over 15 years in the industry by Super Majors, Tier 1 Contractors, and Survey Contractors without fail.

The solution involves directly interfacing with metrology receptacles, providing the highest level of confidence in the attitude of the hub face.

🟧 Surveys are often completed within 6 hours
🟧 Offshore deliverables can be provided in as little as 12 hours
🟧 Can be completed fully remotely, meaning no personnel visas, no day rate, and less hassle for the client

Zupt’s 3D Recon solution is based on dynamically collecting imagery data that is processed into a very high-resolution 3D model of the metrology site and operates completely contactless.

🟧 Surveys can be completed in just a few hours
🟧 Models can be processed offshore to meet standard offshore deliverable timelines
🟧 Eliminates the need for receptacles or custom tooling through a point cloud-based approach
🟧 Zupt takes exceptional care in these situations to directly model hub faces and provide metrology attitude accuracies while reducing assumptions or inferred measurements.
🟧 The final result is still a metrology report used for fabrication, with the added benefit of a high-resolution, color-palletized 3D model of the assets.

Instead of specifying a certain technology or provider, Zupt aims to have a conversation about the survey itself and help guide clients to the right solution.

The goal is to deliver accurate results, save vessel time, and make the entire metrology process as efficient as possible.
