Surveying a Mile Down

Above: The metrology viewed as a combined model. A 3D surveying company provides highly detailed lidar data on subsea drill centers. This article almost didn’t happen. I first met with ADUS DeepOcean in January 2017, when we discussed how they had captured high-resolution laser data deep in the ocean off Ghana. Today, four months later, I...

Deep-water lidar mobile mapping from an ROV? Well it’s a first for me. Most all of the subsurface surveys I’ve read about were...
