Hydrocarbons

The combined subsea expertise of our team in the oil & gas sector spans almost 40 years, and many customers have benefited from our insight during design, inspection, installation and recovery campaigns.

We understand that we are just a small part of the cost of offshore campaigns. Our main focus during offshore capture operations is to minimise our impact on the vessel’s schedule. This approach maximises the value of our services and provides returns on investment far beyond the original outlay, particularly where the 3D data is used in retrofit design and the speed of installation offers additional and significant project value.

In most offshore 3D scanning campaigns, we don’t tell our customers what the accuracy should be – we ask them. Unless specifically asked to, we don’t compromise the data collection in any way or decimate the images to create a poor quality result at high-speed. As such we can detail a capture methodology that demonstrably matches or betters your accuracy requirement, with tolerances as low as 50 microns where required for small scale deviation or inspection of visible crack-like indications.  

The key to successful and efficient 3D scanning projects is upfront communication and planning – the better we understand your needs, the more effective your campaign will be. Your infrastructure is critical to your business operations, and helping you understand them as accurate pieces of 3D geometry that offer increased technical value is critical to ours. 

We won’t complete a 3D scan and leave you with a 40Gb file that you can’t open or interrogate – we aim to show you via simple but detailed analysis and reports why we should also be trusted with your future 3D scanning efforts and perform as an invaluable member of your extended project team.

“The Viewport3 personnel onboard were professional, helpful, and pragmatic. The SoW of the photogrammetry was revised 5 times by the end client, where Viewport3 provided valuable feedback, solutions and had a “can-do” attitude. The customer service was second to none. The photogrammetry went smooth, even though the SoW expanded throughout the operation…”

By deploying capture processes that we’ve been fine-tuning since 2017, our datasets can be relied upon to accurately inform your engineering, inspection, and retrofit design operations. We love to solve problems and to discuss all things 3D scanning, so please feel free to get in touch to discuss your project with one of our engineers.
