The SubBottom Imager™ (SBI) uses advanced acoustics to provide a realtime view of the subseabed in full 3D, as a continuous longitudinal
path measuring 5m wide by 5m depth of seabed penetration. The SBI integrates with industry standard survey software to delineate shallow
discrete objects, stratigraphy and geohazards with decimeter resolution. The SBI can be operated from a surface vessel for shallow water, or
from Work Class Remotely Operated Vehicle (WROV) for deep water.

Survey of planned pipeline/cable routes to identify obstacles
Identification of boulders and other submerged items along pipeline/cable route
Decommissioning Surveys
Locate and map buried objects and lost infrastructure in the seabed in preparation for removal during decommissioning
Unexploded Ordnance Service Support
Qualify buried magnetometer targets for size and shape prior to excavation and removal
Pipeline/Cable AsLaid / AsBuilt Surveys
Detailed images of pipeline/cable and surrounding seabed to burial depths of 5m
Verification that pipeline/cable meets burial requirements
Outofstraightness determination

Free span identification
Pipeline/Cable Integrity Surveys
Accurate detection of areas along pipeline/cable requiring remedial action.
The SBI provides accurate and repeatable depth of cover data and clearly shows situations where remedial engineering is required in
cases of free span and outofstraightness
Provision of accurate location and size estimates of large objects, such as boulders, adjacent to pipelines and cables
There is no need to magnetize and/or apply a tone to the pipe/cable
Surveys can be carried out on energized cables
Benefits associated with unexploded ordnance surveys:
Magnetometer surveys are unable to provide accurate burial depths or provide identification of buried metallic objects. SBI would be
used to image identified magnetic anomalies to determine accurate position and assist in identification of objects as being UXO or
benign
Benefits associated with decommissioning surveys:
100% coverage of the subseabed is delivered
Accurate location and size estimates of buried objects are provided
Customer is provided with images of the objects for their own interpretation of imaged objects
