3D Scanning

Offshore 3D Scanning Services

Precision. Insight. Confidence Below the Surface.

At CMG, we deliver advanced offshore 3D scanning services that provide high-resolution, highly accurate digital models of underwater and topside structures. Whether you’re conducting subsea inspections, documenting archaeological sites, or planning decommissioning activities, our scanning solutions offer unparalleled precision in even the harshest marine environments.


What Is Offshore 3D Scanning?

Offshore 3D scanning is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses laser scanning, photogrammetry, or structured light technology to create detailed digital replicas of submerged or surface assets. These scans, often performed via ROVs, divers, or surface vessels, are critical for:

  • Design verification
  • Structural condition assessments
  • Maintenance and inspection planning
  • Historical and archaeological documentation

Our 3D Scanning Capabilities

  • Subsea Asset Scanning
    High-definition scans of pipelines, risers, manifolds, jackets, moorings, and other infrastructure for inspection, integrity monitoring, and documentation.
  • Marine Vessel & Hull Surveys
    Precision scanning of hulls, propellers, thrusters, and internal compartments to assess wear, damage, or deformation.
  • Archaeological & Heritage Mapping
    Non-intrusive digital capture of wrecks, submerged landscapes, and cultural artifacts—preserving fragile sites without physical disturbance.
  • Decommissioning & Reverse Engineering
    Create exact as-built models of offshore assets to inform safe, efficient removal or refurbishment plans.
  • Inspection & Maintenance Support
    Track structural changes, corrosion, or marine growth over time by comparing 3D scans to baseline models.

Our Technology

We use the latest generation of subsea scanning systems, deployable via:

  • ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles)
  • AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles)
  • Diver-held scanning rigs
  • Surface vessels

This versatility allows us to operate in deep and shallow waters with precision, speed, and safety.

Why Choose 3D Scanning?

  • Non-contact and non-destructive
  • High precision in dynamic offshore conditions
  • Seamless integration with BIM, CAD, and engineering tools
  • Reduces manual measurement needs and associated costs
  • Enhances safety by minimizing diver exposure

Industries We Support

  • Offshore Oil & Gas
  • Renewable Energy (Wind, Tidal)
  • Marine & Subsea Construction
  • Naval & Defense
  • Maritime Archaeology
  • Subsea Engineering & Infrastructure
