Precision subsea positioning

Acoustic systems, both ultra-short baseline (USBL) and long baseline (LBL), continue to play a key role in subsea positioning and measurement in support of offshore construction projects.

The UTEC team has a long and solid track record in using this technology on a wide variety of project types and applications, including:

• Seismic ‘node’ installation and recovery
• Archaeological ‘shipwreck’ investigation

Acoustic technology has undergone significant advances with the introduction of spread spectrum signalling, digital signal processing and advanced hybrid systems. UTEC is in the forefront of these advances, providing new solutions and approaches to old problems.

Our teams of specialists have utilised this technology for many years and continuously follow new technology developments as we provide our clients with advanced levels of support in all depths, from the beach to ultra deepwater.
