Independent subsea positioning analysis
Understand your LBL array before going offshore
Independent analysis of LBL and Sparse LBL array geometry, coverage and expected positioning performance for subsea operations.
Decisions before deployment
See the strengths and limitations of the array
LBL Insight helps project teams evaluate whether a proposed acoustic array is suitable for the intended operation. Clear analysis supports better-informed technical discussions before mobilisation or installation.
Geometry limitations
Identify where transponder geometry becomes weak or poorly balanced.
Range coverage
Locate areas with insufficient acoustic ranges for the intended positioning approach.
Degraded operation
Understand how loss of a transponder could affect coverage and expected performance.
Technical services
Analysis focused on the real work area
From early LBL array planning to independent review of an existing design, each assessment is shaped around the operation.
LBL array planning
Assess proposed array layouts against the work area, terrain and operational constraints.
Service details 02Transponder placement assessment
Review position choices and identify alternatives where geometry or access may be limiting.
Service details 03Coverage and line-of-sight analysis
Map range availability and potential acoustic obstruction across the intended operation.
Service details 04Geometry and intersection-angle analysis
Visualise how transponder intersection angles and array geometry vary through the work area.
Service details 05Positioning uncertainty mapping
Estimate and communicate expected horizontal positioning uncertainty using stated assumptions.
Service details 06Degraded-array and redundancy assessment
Examine coverage and geometry when one or more transponders are unavailable.
Service details 07Existing array review
Independently review an installed array or an analysis prepared by another project party.
Service details 08Operational recommendations
Turn analysis results into practical considerations for deployment, calibration and operation.
Service detailsTypical applications
Subsea operations where geometry matters
LBL and Sparse LBL analysis can support route-based, area-based and point-specific operations.
