GRL ships DeepLive 2.0 to DeepOcean-2

GRL is shipping DeepLive 2.0 its real-time data input module and the first customer is DeepOcean AS for its new Inspection, Maintenance & Repair (IMR) vessel, the Edda Fauna which has been specially built for DeepOcean’s Statoil contract.

DeepLive 2.0 is a supplementary data input module for DeepView 2.0. DeepLive accepts NMEA data inputs (including those from GPS, gyro and USBL systems) to show the position, in a 3D visualisation, of subsea objects like a vessel and its ROV, or a pipe-lay barge and its anchor lines. This allows real-time tracking of ROV manoeuvres near a subsea structure, or monitoring touchdown during cable or pipeline deployment.

DeepLive 2.0’s advanced user interface makes it simple to operate in the field, using drag and drop technology to build up world models quickly and easily. With automatic data collection, display and saving, it allows multiple simultaneous views of the subsea world to be replayed at any point for live monitoring, peer review by engineers or showing to clients. DeepLive 2.0 reduces pilot stress and increases client confidence by providing a clear view of all subsea assets in real-time.

Sven Storesund, superintendent ROV/Survey at DeepOcean said, “We often have a lot of equipment in the water at the same time, two or three ROVs, subsea modules going down through the moonpool and crane wires, stuff like that! We purchased GRL’s DeepLive software so as to give our operators and engineers a better idea of what exactly is happening subsea, so they can see the whole picture. The aim is to improve amongst other things the efficiency and safety of our subsea operations.”

GRL is bringing to market its DeepWorks engineering software platform that will provide clients with the ability to simulate, visualise and monitor all stages of a project. DeepLive is the part of DeepWorks that provides live monitoring of subsea engineering operations.

“Our vision for DeepWorks is to provide a comprehensive, simple to use and, most importantly, integrated suite of software tools,” said Dr Jason Tisdall, Managing Director at GRL. “Tools that a client, be they a multi-disciplinary, end-to-end, services provider through to a specialist subcontractor can use at every stage of a project, with the data generated being reusable and of practical engineering and operational value.”

Steve Tetlow, GRL’s DeepWorks Project Engineer commented “DeepWorks can be deployed at the early prototyping, mission planning, operator training, and media generation stages or as in the case of DeepLive 2.0 for the live monitoring of real-world engineering and operational tasks”.
