The optimumoffshore survey workflowfor high-quality GIS results… by integrating CARIS & EIVA software

As a result of a unique and dedicated partnership, CARIS andEIVA offer the optimum solution for offshore survey projectsfrom acquiring and processing survey data through to managingand manipulating the data in an enterprise GIS environment. Theintegration of cutting-edge CARIS and EIVA software combine thebest of hydrographic and subsea engineering software tools in asingle workflow saving you valuable time and money.60 strong sails ensure full speed aheadWith more than 60 years of combined international experienceand worldwide presence in the marine industry, the best in class ofsurface-based hydrography meets high-end subsea engineeringthrough an integrated solution.Regardless of the challenges and tasks you’re facing, the integrated,fit-for-purpose software solutions will meet your needs, givingyou the full GIS picture.Cost-efficient offshore surveysoftware tool boxProven solution directly targeting your needsthrough 60 years of combined experience in the marine industryReduce errors by eliminating data conversionthrough a complete integration allowing for direct file supportA single solution covering the full workflowthrough one-stop-shopping of dedicated softwareEasier and faster survey processthrough a streamlined workflowMinimised downtimethrough world class software supportNo guessing– Eliminate the need for data conversion

Complete integration equals no data conversionDirect file support throughout the survey workflow eliminates the risk of errors due to data conversion, which vastly increasesthe quality of the survey results and enables faster processing.NaviScan enables real-time coverage and dataquality control of multi-beam and sonar data acquisitionwith a time-tagging accuracy better than 50 µSec.HIPS and SIPS is a comprehensive bathymetric,seafloor imagery and water column data processingsoftware enabling simultaneous processing ofmultibeam, side scan, LiDAR and single beam data.Bathy DataBASE delivers a robust and scalablesolution for the storage and analysis of ever-expandingvolumes of seabed survey data and associatedstandards based metadata.In NaviModel, 3D visualisation of digital modelsunlimited in size ensures a comprehensive overviewof the survey data.One-stop-shopping and worldclass supportWhen you choose the software bundle of the integratedCARIS and EIVA software, you get a package that coversthe full survey process from a single vendor. This allowsfor a procurement process that saves you both time andmoney.During the survey, downtime is minimised as you canaddress your support issues regardless of their nature toeither company and still rely on a quick response.

The optimum offshoresurvey workflowThe workflow rendered possible through the integration of CARISand EIVA software is characterised by streamlined processing andflexibility. This is supported by a range of options you can use asdesired during the entire workflow, and the possibility of returningto any previous step in the process.The direct file support exists throughout the workflow from acquisitionto processing, data modelling and final data management. Thiseliminates the risk of errors due to wrongly converted data, and allowsfor easier and faster workflow transitions, translating into efficienciesin time and money.… supporting various export formatsThis solution increases the possible applications for your results, asthe survey data can be exported to various third-party GIS applicationsand easily shared through standard Open Geospatial Consortium®(OGC) web interfaces.New features for existing usersIf you are already using CARIS or EIVA software, you can upgrade to this completely integrated workflow at a minimum cost. Thesoftware bundle adds new features to your existing solution, and because of the streamlined workflow this new setup will only requireminimum training of your crew.Courtesy of Statoil and DOF SubseaExisting CARIS users benefit from additional features tothe survey setup such as subsea-based data acquisition,pipeline detection and inspection and advanced 3Dmodelling and analysis.Existing EIVA users benefit from the ability to processbathymetry, seafloor imagery and water column data, aswell as other data sources such as LiDAR. It also allowsthe creation of sophisticated chart products and GIS datadeliverables.
