3D at Depth, a company specializing in commercial Subsea LiDAR (SL) laser technology, and a provider of underwater survey services and 3D data solutions, on Tuesday announced the launch of its offshore Geophysical Survey Services division. According to 3D at Depth, the new division will provide surveys to support both nearshores, inshore, and offshore deepwater development activities focused in the areas of offshore wind farms, pipeline routes, environmental site surveys, offshore oil and gas projects, and civil engineering surveys. The firm said that its new division was supported by a team
3D at Depth Partners with STR
Subsea LiDAR laser technology and 3D data solutions company 3D at Depth Inc.announced Tuesday it has partnership with Subsea Technology & Rentals Australia PTY Ltd (STR).According to 3D at Depth, the partnership has been formed to support its expanding customer base within the Asia Pacific region, and bundle 3D at Depth’s Subsea (SL) LiDAR laser systems with STR’s subsea technology. The new bundled offering provides a turnkey solution to help customers improve the efficiencies and reliability of their offshore operations. 3D at Depth said it will continue to maintain operational and
Fugro Advances Bathymetric Lidar Mapping Capabilities
density than any comparable system on the market - and we’ve recorded seafloor depths as deep as 42 meters during a recent survey.”Described as a first-of-its-kind multibeam lidar system, RAMMS was developed in partnership with Areté Associates. The system utilizes push-broom laser technology and is based on 20 years of cutting-edge military technology for mine detection, developed via the U.S. Navy Small Business Innovated Research (SBIR) program. It is also underpinned by over 25 years of bathymetric lidar experience for nautical charting.The sensor’s compact design allows
Precision Underwater Laser Scanner for Divers
. Dr. Grant Thomson, Savante Managing Founder said, “In 2005, we pioneered the development of our first SCUBA-diver operated laser scanner in support of a marine-science research project. The CTS-3D underwater laser scanner represents almost 15 years of continuous underwater laser technology development and enables assets to be surveyed dynamically and in minimal time without the need for mechanical tools such as calipers, rulers or impression-casting tools. Weighing less than 1kg in water, the tool is solid-state, making it robust for shallow water operations and extending to operations
Lasers Shed Light on the Inner Workings of the Giant Larvacean
New laser technology is allowing MBARI scientists to look into the structure of giant larvaceans–tadpole-like marine animals that are important players in ocean ecosystems. In a recent paper in Science Advances, MBARI researchers described a new method for measuring the flow of seawater through larvaceans and other gelatinous animals. The results will help scientists understand how much carbon dioxide the oceans are absorbing from the atmosphere. Larvaceans play a significant role in moving carbon from the upper part of the ocean down into the deep sea. They build balloon-like mucus structures

surveyors, with direct access to offshore survey projects. OARS potentially eliminates the need for onboard surveyors, optimizing project crewing, safety and efficiency. Subsea LiDAR collects detailed and accurate three-dimensional point clouds of complex subsea components using non-contact, laser technology. 3Direct provides accurate and continuous hands-off positioning through video stream tracking of 3D structures to enhance safety and operational control during lifting and lowering operations. Fugro Roames reliably simulates and predicts how assets and environments will change
