The benefits of mobile laser metrology may be summarised as follows:
Non-Intrusive - no prior subsea intervention is required in advance of metrology, and no subsea bracketry,
control spheres or metrology aids are required.
Flexible Deployment - modular system which can be easily fitted to an ROV (for Dynamic data
acquisition), or mounted onto a tripod (for static data acquisition).
Time to Survey - significant reduction in the time (and therefore vessel cost) needed to gather the survey
data in comparison to traditional techniques such as pure acoustic LBL.
Time to Data - quick delivery of results offshore; typically within six hours of data acquisition. It is normal
for data processing to be conducted in parallel with array recovery operations. Inferred Metrology - with
prior dimensional control information, hub position and orientation can be inferred using laser scan data.
More than Metrology - the 3D model used for metrology serves as an As-Built model of the subsea
installation and the surrounding area to provide a baseline for future intervention work.

“The parallel development of high resolution underwater laser and high precision acoustically
aided inertial navigation has revolutionized the capability to perform mobile metrology
operations in a timescale previously unattainable.” DOF Subsea Mobile Laser Metrology
Report 001165-SV-CL-403-0004C
“It is now entirely practical to deploy a limited LBL array in close proximity to the targets and
conduct high speed data acquisition operations followed by immediate processing on board
the vessel. Preliminary results are typically available within hours of deploying the array, thus
saving significant vessel time and allowing operational decisions to be made without delay.”
