Rig Survey & 3D Scans

Overview

Survey and reality capture services to support drilling rig modifications.

We provide offshore site survey and 3D scanning services to support drilling rig modification and equipment interfacing projects. ICON captures accurate as-built data to inform engineering, reduce uncertainty and support safe, efficient offshore execution.

Our survey and scanning services are delivered with a clear focus on constructability. By providing reliable spatial data early, we help ensure rig modification designs are accurate, clash-free and aligned with real offshore conditions.

Our expertise

Survey and reality capture services for offshore drilling rigs.

Offshore site surveys

Execution of offshore surveys to capture high-level as-built conditions of rig structures, equipment layouts, access constraints, and available utilities and locations.
3D laser scanning

High-resolution 3D laser scanning to generate accurate point clouds for use in engineering design, clash detection and modification planning.
Scan data integration with engineering models

Integration of survey and scan data into structural and layout models to support accurate interfacing checks and constructability reviews.
Survey support for modification execution

Provision of survey data and technical support to de-risk offshore installation through verification of integration, and installation sequences and lifting plans.

Related Capabilities

Full project lifecycle, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery services.

We deliver practical, fit-for-purpose solutions across feasibility, concept, FEED and detailed design. Our engineering is aligned with installation methods, construction sequencing and offshore constraints so designs can be delivered safely and efficiently.

Learn more about Engineering & Design Phases

We manage technical, operational and delivery interfaces. By coordinating interfaces across engineering disciplines, vendors, contractors and offshore execution teams, we help keep design intent and delivery requirements aligned.

Learn more about Interface Engineering & Integration

We combine high-accuracy 3D scanning with in-house drafting, modelling and visualisation to turn site data into usable engineering input. Point cloud data supports as-built modelling, clash detection, interface verification and detailed structural, mechanical, lifting and installation design.

FAQs

Answers to key questions on our safe, rig survey & 3D scans services.

Yes. ICON routinely delivers survey and scanning scopes on live drilling rigs, working within operational and safety constraints, without disrupting rig operations.

Scan data is used to develop accurate models, identify clashes, verify clearances and support constructible rig modification designs.
