Subsea Survey, Systems Positioning and Metrology (SSSPM) Level 1 & Level 2

Description

Subsea Survey, Systems Positioning and Metrology (SSSPM) Level 1 & Level 2 equip participants with the fundamental understanding and practical expertise required to carry out accurate and precise measurements and positioning in the subsea industry.

SSSPM Level 1 Course:

Introduction to Subsea Surveying: Participants are introduced to the field of subsea surveying and its importance in various subsea operations. The course covers the basic principles, methods, and equipment used in subsea surveying, including sonar systems, acoustic positioning, and multibeam echo sounders.

Subsea Positioning Systems: This section focuses on the different positioning systems used in subsea operations. Participants learn about global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), inertial navigation systems (INS), and other advanced positioning technologies. The course covers their principles, limitations, and integration with other surveying equipment.

Data Acquisition and Processing: Participants gain insights into data acquisition techniques for subsea surveys, including data collection, processing, and quality control. The course covers the use of software tools for data management, editing, and analysis in subsea surveying projects.

Subsea Metrology: This module introduces participants to the principles and methods of subsea metrology, which involves precise measurements and alignment of subsea structures and equipment. Participants learn about measurement techniques, instruments, and analysis methods specific to subsea metrology tasks.

Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Considerations: This section focuses on the importance of health, safety, and environmental practices in subsea surveying operations. Participants gain an understanding of risk assessment, emergency procedures, and safety regulations specific to subsea environments.

SSSPM Level 2 Course:

The Level 2 course builds upon the knowledge gained in Level 1 and delves deeper into advanced topics and practical applications. The course may include:

Advanced Subsea Survey Techniques: Participants explore advanced survey techniques used in subsea environments, such as side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiling, and laser scanning. The course covers their applications, data processing methods, and integration with positioning systems.

Subsea Positioning for Construction and Installation: This section focuses on positioning techniques and methodologies for construction and installation activities in subsea projects. Participants learn about dynamic positioning, real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning, and geodetic surveying in the context of subsea operations.

Subsea Metrology for Asset Integrity: Participants gain insights into subsea metrology techniques used for asset integrity management. The course covers techniques for monitoring structural deformation, corrosion assessment, and measurement of critical dimensions in subsea infrastructure.

Case Studies and Practical Exercises: The course may include case studies and practical exercises to apply the learned concepts and enhance problem-solving skills. Participants analyze real-world scenarios, carry out subsea surveying tasks, and interpret and present survey data.

Subsea Survey, Systems Positioning and Metrology (SSSPM) Level 1 & Level 2 covers Subsea Survey, Geotechnical & Geophysical Site Investigation, Subsea Systems Positioning Techniques, Types of Subsea Systems Positioning sensors i.e. USBL, LBL & SBL , Acoustic Positioning Systems, Application of acoustic positioning systems i.e. Installation & Subsea Metrology Case Studies, Accuracy & Repeatability and more.
