Leading provider of vessel dimensional control surveys GEOSIGHT announces a new initiative for 2022
Leading provider of vessel dimensional control surveys GEOSIGHT has recently announced a new initiative for 2022, to include the offer of vessel dimensional control survey training, alongside the release of a software package called GEOBASE, which is designed to support the conduct of vessel dimensional control surveying, and the subsequent data management and reporting.
Over the past 6 years, GEOSIGHT have combined their vast experience in both land and hydrographic surveying to create their specialist vessel dimensional control survey offering, which is provided to clients on a national and international scale, where accurate and quality assured vessel dimension data is key to project success. GEOSIGHT has operated in over 17 countries since 2016 and has completed in excess of 200 vessel surveys for clients such as DEME Offshore, Boskalis, Fugro, Subsea 7, UTEC, Ocean Infinity and ROVCO to name a few.
In pursuit of improving and standardising vessel dimensional control surveying practices throughout the offshore survey industry, GEOSIGHT are preparing to offer training courses to companies and individuals who want to learn and implement best practice procedures in dimensional control surveying. Training courses will begin from Spring 2022 and will be delivered from GEOSIGHT headquarters in Hampshire, UK or from client offices.
In combination with dimensional control training, GEOSIGHT are pioneering the development of a new software package called GEOBASE which is designed to support the conduct of dimensional control surveying using best practice procedures. Alongside providing automated routines for moving between the different coordinate and rotation conventions used by survey equipment and software manufactures, GEOBASE is designed to expedite the processing and reporting of dimensional control data so results and final reports are delivered quicker, enabling the crucial client sign-off from mobilisation periods.
GEOBASE is being released in Spring 2022 for a period of 12 months as a basic software package at no cost, its operation will also be covered within training courses. GEOBASE will continue development with an ambitious roadmap, integrating new and exciting functionality, including the intelligent hosting of digital twin scan data.
GEOSIGTH Founder and Principal Surveyor, Brian Gamet, said:
“My personal experiences of conducting dimensional control surveys for the past 18 years including the past 6 years with my colleagues from GEOSIGHT have highlighted a very real need to improve standards in the collection and reporting of vessel dimension data. It is often an afterthought at the end of a mobilisation period, but the repercussions of inaccurate vessel dimensions data are significant. We’re delighted to take this important step in offering training to our industry colleagues, and also in providing a unique software package which will assist in the survey process, and the ongoing management of vessel geometry data which may be provided by a number of different dimensional control surveyors over the vessel or project lifecycle. Our vision is to create an industry standard providing improved subsea data quality and survey efficiencies, and the complete confidence in vessel geometry data from surveyors and their clients.
