Underwater Laser Scanning for Subsea Pipeline Inspection
Underwater Laser based micro-bathymetry is becoming a new standard for subsea pipeline and asset inspection. As the industry moves to deeper and more hostile environments for extraction of oil, technology to manage the risks involved in these environments are critical. This became most evident during the Deepwater Horizon sinking in 2010 and the subsequent free flowing well. The economic and environmental cost incurred whenever such events occur is a constant reminder of this need for responsible and safe continued operations. A key aspect to this safe continued operation is inspection monitoring
