Custom Tooling

new_image11616

We have a strong portfolio in designing bespoke capture solutions for 3D scanning in tight, awkward, or hard-to-reach spaces when off-the-shelf equipment is not capable of meeting your demands.

Custom tooling means designing and building bespoke capture equipment for 3D scanning in spaces standard hardware cannot reach. Viewport3 has scanned mooring links inside a hawse pipe and connectors inside an installed tubing hanger, locations where neither a work-class ROV nor a diver can deploy conventional equipment. 

We have a long history of designing and manufacturing customised imaging and image collection platforms to help minimise the challenges associated with the location or tight physical access challenges related to your 3D data or traditional inspection campaign.

  • Inside hawse pipes —  mooring link measurement from within the pipe. 
  • Tubing hanger and wellhead internals —  connector inspection inside installed equipment. 
  • Beneath excavated pipelines —  capture where a work-class ROV cannot fit. 
  • Deep confined access —  for example a Temporary Abandonment Cap significantly below the well entrance. 
  • Diver-deployed systems —  camera systems built for diver-led photogrammetry. 
  • ROV-mounted solutions —  bespoke camera arrangements for specific ROV platforms. 

From 3D scanning mooring links inside a hawse-pipe to the connectors inside an installed Tubing Hangar, we rarely take ‘no’ for an answer when the “can it be done” question arises. Where there is a need, there is a solution.

For projects where the diver or ROV cannot access the site due to physical size or of course safety reasons, specialised tooling can fill in the gaps.

“Good support from the Viewport3 team. Communication between the relevant parties was excellent. Flexibility in data delivery much appreciated.”
