Offshore Wind
Be sure about your offshore assets
The global offshore wind market is set to expand significantly over the next two decades. For this growth to be sustainable, one of the key operational challenges will be to extract the maximum possible value from all data gathered underwater.
From developing new energy facilities offshore to managing mature subsea infrastructure, our unique LiDAR technology delivers the accurate, up-to-date information you need for better decision-making – today and for the future.
The technology to measure up
Our LiDAR technology is unparalleled and offers significant benefits in comparison to manual measurement, acoustic technologies or camera-based systems. We can support you in conducting cost-effective, early-stage environmental assessments of the seabed prior to installation and accurately survey any planned cable routes.
Assess and address
The efficiency and accuracy of our technology means you can perform one-off investigations of operational offshore wind sites. With access to up-to-date information, you can quickly evaluate the current physical condition of underwater structures and installed assets to make informed decisions.
Unbeatable and repeatable
Our repeatable data acquisition process enables you to keep track of your assets by monitoring the burial depth of underwater cables over time. This supports you in avoiding exposure risks from marine life and maritime vessels, as well as damage to the cables themselves.

Subsea cable route surveys
Hazards, including wrecks, man-made artifacts, marine debris and dumping grounds, are identified to ensure cables are not laid in potentially dangerous or compromised areas. Once laid, long term monitoring and evaluation ensures cable integrity and condition.
If you’re currently planning an offshore renewables project, 3D at Depth’s subsea LiDAR systems and survey services can support you in designing, engineering, building and maintaining cost-effective and reliable installations.
Scour assessments and monitoring
It’s also an efficient way of working, as much of the data can be accessed topside in near real-time.
Data sets can be exported into any existing GIS system or CAS-based platform for measurement, evaluation and analysis. Long term condition monitoring can be documented and reviewed on a regular basis to help reduce project risks.
