Scope of Pipeline Inspection with NaviModelLearning Objectives: The course is structured around a dedicated yet general curriculum with the aim being to furnish the trainees with a broad understanding of the EIVA NaviSuite offline software solutions and make them confident in using these software solutions in post-processing situations. The primary focus of the course is post-processing of pipeline inspection data. To enhance trainee competence and confidence, a wide range of typical pipeline-based hydrographic survey data, acquired using the EIVA NaviSuite online software solutions, is used to exemplify typical pipe based post-processing scenarios. For the most part, the course is conducted as hands-on training.

By the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

Install the relevant NaviSuite software solutions Understand the basic architecture of NaviEdit, NaviModel and NaviPlot Conduct editing of multi-beam data in a NaviEdit/NaviModel environment Use the S-CAN automatic cleaning tool Use the various DTM tools in NaviModel Conduct volume and area calculations in NaviModel Understand the concept of video integration in NaviModel Use the pipeline inspection tools in NaviModel Export data from NaviModel using generic as well as built-in tools Create simple plots in NaviPlot Create alignment sheets in NaviPlot using the Chart Layout Manager

Target Group: The course is aimed towards surveyors with some experience of offshore survey work and with a basic

knowledge of hydrographic surveying.

Entry Level: Prior knowledge of the EIVA software solutions is recommended. The language of instruction in the course is

English.

Duration: The duration of the course is 4 days, from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., including breaks.

Completion: Upon completion, a dedicated EIVA Training Certificate will be issued.

Download & KnowledgebaseThe EIVA Download

site gives users the

possibility to

download latest

versions and

patches of the

various software

packages.

A user can sign up

for login access

and can

subsequently

receive an e-mail

notification when

releases occur on

the various folders.

In the Knowledgebase, FAQ from the

EIVA user community, are listed and

organized relative subjective items like:

software package, popularity, age (latest

addition) etc.

Users are also given the opportunity to

submit a question that will then be

upgraded and included in the

knowledgebase.

Training & Documentation SiteThe Training & Documentation site

contains all documentation and training

material associated with the EIVA Soft-

and Hardware. It should therefore be

installed whenever installing the EIVA

software (is not a requirement for the

proper functioning of the associated

software.

The documentation includes all on-line

help, manuals, powerpoints, reports,

papers, training documents available for

the EIVA software packages as well as

for the EIVA hardware.

The site is designed to be executed in

off-line mode (with no connection to the

Internet), however some of the items

will only provide optimum functionality if

an Internet connection has been

established. Observe that the site can

also be reached at the EIVA Website

http://download.eiva.dk/online-

training/index.htm

Training & Documentation Site IIThe Training & Documentation

site is subdivided into subpages

that relate to the different

modules that constitute EIVA

NaviSuite.

The Offline packages have

three subpages, related to:

• NaviEdit

• NaviModel (shown here)

• NaviPlot.

The Software Installer lists the

software packages in the

sequence shown to the left.

During installation, always

remember to use default

settings.

NaviModel Patch Testing

Patch Testing can be performed in NaviModel and in the Online3D application. In the latter case, no dongleis required.

A multibeam Patch Test calibration serves a dual purpose:

a. To determine the mount angles of the multibeam transducer

relative to the three axes of the local coordinate system of the

vessel/ROV. These three figures are often referred to as the roll-,

pitch- and heading mount angles.

b. To confirm the relationship between the time-tagging on the

multibeam data and the time-tagging on the position data. This

figure is often referred to as the latency or as the time value.
