Fugro Survey Technology

The Fugro Offshore Survey Division activities require extensive


technological support in order to deliver the services that the offshore
industry requires. There is a continuous need for the implementation
and utilisation of new methods, sensors, positioning techniques, data
acquisition, processing and visualisation systems that emerge from ever
growing industry demands. To support this, Fugro has a strong technical
development resource that develops the software and hardware that are
specific to offshore survey operations.

Fugro's development activities are conducted in development centres in


The Netherlands, UK, USA and Australia. This resource includes a
number of staff who develop and maintain the software and hardware
systems that are needed for Fugro's survey activities offshore. These
systems are formally consolidated, tested and released on a regular
basis to ensure that field operations can rely on the latest available
technology at all times. A team in Europe develops and supports the
hardware that is required to implement specialist navigation hardware
solutions and produce for example the High Precision satellite user
equipment (StarPack) and dedicated systems to support seismic
operations (Protrack)
