SeaRoc Group’s specialist GIS team provide spatial data interpretation and ongoing analysis to support decision making on offshore projects. Throughout the lifecycle of the project, they can produce detailed outputs to present a range of information, such as development constraints, planned activities and construction progress.
Presenting data that is easy to interpret and utilise
SeaRoc’s team of experienced analysts have over 10 years in providing GIS, data management and CAD services to the offshore renewable energy sector.
GIS Analysis
GIS services allow clients to maximise the value of their data holdings, enabling well-informed decisions to be made throughout the project lifecycle. These include:
- Site selection and constraint analysis;
- Weather window and downtime analysis;
- Data gap analysis;
- 3D geophysical survey analysis;
- Pre- and post-installation seabed monitoring;
- Asset siting and vessel positioning based on factors such as UXOs and exclusion zones.
Data Management
SeaRoc can effectively manage your project data to ensure all information is securely recorded, maintained and communicated. The following services can be provided from the initial planning stage of a project, through to construction and operations and maintenance.
Database Design and Management
The use of a well-structured, centralised database allows for effective data storage and access, ensuring that the correct information reaches the appropriate people at the right time. Implementing a data management strategy from the outset of a project prevents data loss between project stages and team changes, maximising the value of data holdings.
Ongoing maintenance of the database ensures the correct data is available to all project teams and stakeholders at all times.
Mapping
Regular and ad-hoc map production to visualise a range of information, such as development constraints, planned activities and construction progress.
CAD Services
SeaRoc utilises the AutoCAD suite of software in order to meet client CAD requirements (both 2D and 3D). Specifically, SeaRoc has the capacity to provide the following types of CAD support:
- Technical Drawings
- 3D Design and Visualisation
- Concept Storyboards and Videos
Large quantities of spatial data are generated at different phases of the projects. These data’s value is realised when disseminated to the right person in right format at the right time. SeaRoc maintains data integrity and ensures prompt access as and when required. Besides supplying PDF maps, SeaRoc’s online portal ensures access to the information 24/7.
SeaRoc’s WebGIS allows simpler distribution of information through a secure, web-based portal. Users can view project information, toggle visible data layers and interrogate features. The system can be updated regularly with the latest project data and associated reports.
