During the past 18 months, Seatronics, an Acteon company, along with Technip, Star Net Geomantics, and BlueView Technologies, have been developing the BlueView 3D system for underwater metrology. The system combines terrestrial laser and underwater, 3-D multibeam sonar-scanning technology to provide a unique and innovative solution to complex subsea metrology operations.

This work has included several onshore dry-dock trials in Peterhead and Fraserburgh, United Kingdom. Seatronics, along with Star Net, is now a recommended execution contractor for BlueView BV5000 multibeam surveys for inspection and metrology projects, as it understands the system’s capabilities and clients’ subsea measurement requirements.
