Facilitating Digital Delivery: Advancements in 360° Visualization of Subsea Assets and Data to Aid Informed Decision Making

A new digital solution to manage access, hosting, distribution, and analytics of subsea data. UTEC, a Geo-services brand in Acteon's Data and Robotics division, has launched "iSite Subsea", a game-changing, cloud-based platform giving users an intuitive interactive delivery portal for survey and inspection data, designed specifically to meet the needs of the offshore renewable energy market, and oil and gas subsea infrastructure owners. For infrastructure owners looking to consolidate key geo-referenced survey and inspection information, iSite Subsea interfaces seamlessly with existing databases, resulting in long-term cost savings. iSite Subsea helps to reduce costs, lower risk, enhance health and safety, and deliver better informed decisions. The new platform facilitates the digital delivery, throughout the lifecycle of an installation, of geophysical, geotechnical, structural integrity monitoring, inspection, and maintenance surveys, providing owners, developers, and contractors access to the data they need to plan, evaluate and solve safety, environmental and risk scenarios. Challenges that iSite Subsea solves include: lack of access to data sources because they are held in different systemsthe struggle to ingest and make sense of the large volumes of complex datadecision-making based on experience and gut instinct rather than reliable metricsthe requirement for disparate, tailored databases and analysis tools. These challenges are addressed through an interactive graphical visualisation, enhanced with "critical" data, as a powerful tool to drive informed decisions. The intuitive interface layers information and enables comparisons between data sets; a vital capability, particularly for repeat events such as inspections and maintenance.
