What We Do
We go deeper to support your decision-making
It’s our mission to extract the maximum possible value from all data gathered underwater. Through our end-to-end measurement solutions, we enable the contactless evaluation and management of offshore assets, submerged environments and water-filled infrastructures – even at the most challenging depths and in the most hostile settings.
Our services include metrology, the creation of full digital point clouds, geophysical surveys, data services and asset monitoring. Get in touch today to see how we transform obstacles into opportunities.
“3D at Depth allowed us to accomplish more, and with greater accuracy, in mapping the wreck site of BuNo 1515 over the course of six days than was possible in five previous expeditions”

Survey services
We offer the world’s only true commercial deep water LiDAR service. All our digital products and services are built using this patented true LiDAR acquisition technology, which was pioneered by our specialist engineers and has been proven in the field for repeatability.
When it comes to acquiring data underwater, there is no other system on the market that measures up to LiDAR. Manual measurements lack efficiency and accuracy, acoustic technologies struggle with imaging resolution, and camera-based systems demand visible light. 3D at Depth’s comprehensive LiDAR solution can be deployed at long range for maximum efficiency with minimal disruption. By delivering more data in less time, working with 3D at Depth can have a positive impact on your project’s budget; not to mention its carbon impact.
Point cloud services
Whether you need a precise, millimetric 3D point cloud to support the creation of digital twins, real-time data to enhance your workflows or insights into the long-term integrity of assets, environments or infrastructure, we can help you to extract insights from your underwater surveys.
Our 3D data is delivered in a cohesive, industry-standard format (it can integrate into any existing GIS system or CAD-based platform), and our offshore survey support team is here to support you with inertial navigation, online survey operations, legacy 3D acoustic data collection and long baseline (LBL) products.
Dimensional control
Dimensional control involves strategically placing subsea LiDAR laser scan targets on all applicable subsea assets, so that they can be observed and compared with the original designs. These surveys are particularly useful for determining the relative locations of two or more structures and their associated features.
We’ve developed best practices for performing dimensional control surveys for subsea assets for use in spool metrology and life of field applications.
Marine and underwater geophysical survey services
The Geophysical Survey Service division is supported by a team of experienced LiDAR experts, 3D data specialists, geophysical and hydrographic professionals. This enables us to guide, identify and analyze data acquisition initiatives across survey campaigns for offshore wind farms, pipeline routes, environmental sites, offshore hydrocarbon projects, civil engineering and more.
Data services
You can also integrate our data with fiber optics and acoustic data.
We even have our own subsea survey visualization tool. Powered by IQ3Connect, our virtual reality platform utilizes the highly accurate 3D point cloud data sets obtained during our laser surveys to create a digital representation of physical assets or the surrounding environment. Users can connect via laptop, desktop or a smart device through a secure web portal, meaning everyone has access to the critical data they need to make better, more effective decisions.
