description

The deformation of a vessel by its load, and that of positioning piles by temperature have consequences for the accuracy of the survey. This presentation by Erich Gaickhorst (GeoVisie) shows how.

Example 1: Flexibility

• High accurate sensors• Offsets with mm accuracy• Angles with 0.01° accuracy• Correct calibrations

• Position jumps (xy) of the ROV• Why

Example 2: Temperature

• High accurate sensors• Offsets with mm accuracy• Angles with 0.01° accuracy

• Placing tolerance gravel +/-35mm• Temperature a significant part of the error

budget.• Height influenced by temperature
