- How We Deliver
The technology
behind the results.
Three integrated disciplines - survey technology, naval architecture and data intelligence - working together to provide a complete end-to-end service for marine projects of any scale.
- Surveying
Capture every dimension. Miss nothing.
We use cutting-edge laser scanning technology to capture accurate dimensional data wherever you need it - on vessels under scaffold, in confined spaces, in remote locations, or anywhere in the world. Our survey data feeds directly into naval architecture and data intelligence workflows, removing the need for repeated site visits and reducing dry dock time significantly.
- Naval Architecture
Engineering expertise. Practical experience.
As qualified Naval Architects and experienced Yacht Captains, we understand the problems faced by ship builders, owners and operators - not just in theory, but from hands-on experience at sea and in the yard. This combination of technical qualification and practical knowledge means we provide solutions that actually work in the real world.
- Data Intelligence
Complex data. Made accessible.
We use advanced software and data processing methods to depict complex survey and engineering data in a way that can be understood and acted on by all stakeholders - wherever they are in the world. Raw point cloud data becomes structured, searchable, shareable intelligence that delivers value across the full lifetime of a vessel or marine asset.

Data intelligence services.
- 1
Cloud-based Data Platforms
We deliver survey data through secure, cloud-hosted platforms that allow owner and operator teams to access, interrogate and share data from any device, anywhere. Multiple data types can be layered into a single intelligent asset record.
- Secure cloud hosting
- Multi-user access with permissions
- Point cloud, CAD, photo, video and document layers
- Measure and annotate within the platform
- Cyber Essentials Plus certified infrastructure

Point Cloud Processing
Raw scan data requires significant processing to be useful. We register, clean, colour and structure point clouds into coherent datasets that feed directly into CAD, BIM and data platform workflows.
- Multi-scan registration and alignment
- Noise and artefact removal
- Colour and intensity mapping
- Export to all major point cloud formats
- 3
CAD Modelling
We produce 2D drawings and 3D CAD models from point cloud data in any format required by the client - from simple dimensional drawings to full surface models and assemblies for complex refit and engineering projects.
- 2D drawings in AutoCAD DWG format
- 3D models in Rhino, STEP, IGES and more
- Shipyard-ready refit drawings
- Interior fit-out and equipment layouts

Data Structuring & Archiving
Survey data is only valuable if it can be found, understood and used. We structure and archive deliverables to a consistent standard so that data collected today remains useful and accessible throughout the asset lifecycle.
- Consistent file naming and folder structure
- Metadata tagging and search indexing
- Long-term archive strategy
- Software workflow documentation
- Applications
Where we deploy our survey capability.
Vessel Survey
Full hull, interior and superstructure scanning for refit planning, digital twin creation and as-built documentation.
Marine Facilities
Drydocks, quaysides, sills, tide gates and shipyard structures - as-built survey for maintenance and modification planning.
Confined Space
Tank scanning, void spaces and confined areas using specialist trained personnel and equipment adapted for challenging environments.
Component Capture
Precision scanning of mechanical components, machinery and bespoke parts for reverse engineering and replacement manufacture.
- Our Process
From site to deliverable.
Brief & Planning
We discuss the project requirements, access constraints, and deliverable format before mobilising - ensuring the right equipment and team for the job.
On-site Capture
Our surveyors deploy to site and capture comprehensive data. We work around vessel schedules to minimise operational disruption.
Processing
Raw point cloud data is registered, cleaned and processed into a coherent dataset ready for CAD modelling or platform delivery.
Delivery
Final deliverables - point cloud, CAD model, 2D drawings or data platform access - are provided to stakeholders anywhere in the world.
