This system utilises RTK positioning with the latest MFAM™ caesium magnetometer technology from  Geometrics Inc. , sampling data at 1000 Hz, making magnetometer data acquisition over these shallow intertidal waters areas faster, more accurate and easily accessible.

Located in the Thames Estuary, London was a Second Rate ‘Large Ship’ built in Chatham in 1656 during the Interregnum. She is known for having formed a part of the English Squadron sent to collect Charles II from the Netherlands and restore him to his throne in an effort to end the anarchy which followed the death of Cromwell in 1658.

The London was blown up accidentally on passage from Chatham in March 1665. Approximately 300 people are thought to have died.

We are proud to continue providing survey support for Wind Farms on the North-East Coast of England.

Once completed Borssele will be the largest offshore windfarm in the Netherlands

Paul Duncan, Ørsted Geoscience Construction Manager for HOW02 said: “We are pleased to be working with UK-based Spectrum again. The benefits of having a dedicated survey vessel on location is that it will provide the necessary support for our construction teams who will be working across the project from nearshore to offshore.”

Jess Hanham , Spectrum Geosurvey’s commercial director said; “The contract award continues Spectrum’s excellent reputation in supporting major offshore wind farm construction in North-Western Europe. We are delighted to secure another long-term contract allowing us to further invest in new technology and our highly skilled work force.

Spectrum look forward to continuing to provide their services in support of the offshore wind industry and working closely with Ørsted and their Geoscience team”.

Hornsea Two is set to become the world’s largest offshore wind farm once complete, providing green electricity to well over 1.3 million homes once complete.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Spectrum are proud to be working on key infrastructure projects. 

Built in 1919, the SS Spaarndam was a passenger/cargo ship. On 27th November 1939, while en route from New Orleans to Rotterdam, she struck a mine. She was manoeuvred onto a bank and set on fire. Seven lives were lost.  

This system will carry the SUAV DG-1 Payload capable of providing high accuracy positioning to multiple survey sensors, whilst utilising Direct Georeferecning (DG) Technology for photogrammetry surveys. It is also capable of carrying a wide range of other payloads from a 30x optical zoom inspection camera, thermal imaging camera & multispectal camera. 

If you think one of our survey installations could be a practical solution on your vessel, please get in touch! 

Held at ExCel London from 17th - 19th March 2020, this is the world's leading forum for marine science and ocean technology. 

Come and see us on stand P451!

This unique vehicle was mobilised with our UAV navigation technology alongside other equipment. Combined with a traditional, vessel based multibeam element provided by Spectrum Geosurvey, this allows us to seamlessly survey the entire intertidal zone; a region that is notoriously difficult to access!

We look forward to meeting and connecting with other companies investing in the offshore wind industry.

We would like to thank everyone for their great work!

Spectrum Offshore have closely worked with London Array over the past 5 years to provide the highest quality geophysical datasets and crew transfer support services to ensure the smooth operation and performance of one of the World’s largest windfarms.
Jonathan Duffy, General Manager of London Array said:

“The team at Spectrum Offshore have had a longstanding involvement with London Array and I am pleased the relationship is now set to continue for a further five years. The company will be providing a range of high quality services to support our Operations and Maintenance team, from high resolution bathymetric surveys to crew transfer. Their ongoing support will help ensure the continued success of the wind farm.”

We look forward to working closely with London Array over the coming years. 

Spectrum Offshore will utilise their geophysical and hydrographic expertise to provide a shallow water dataset consisting of high-resolution multibeam echosounder, backscatter, magnetometer and parametric sub-bottom profiler.

Hornsea Project One is located 120km east of the Yorkshire coast, and will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm when it becomes operational, expected to be in 2020.

The custom build survey spread will encompass Trimble Applanix GNSS equipment and will be capable of Direct Georeferencing to ensure surveys can be completed over any area efficiently and without the need to setup ground control points.

This exciting development will build on Spectrum Offshore’s capabilities and services allowing for a full in-house suite of cost effective solutions.

The survey was conducted using the Njord Lapwing , which Spectrum Offshore have mobilised for Ørsted with their multibeam echosounder and sub-bottom profiler systems to support the construction phase of the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm.

Spectrum UAV will be focused on providing cost-effective aerial survey and asset inspection solutions for the offshore and onshore industrial and construction sectors.

The multibeam survey was conducted using the Foryd Bay , which Spectrum Offshore have
mobilised with a multibeam echosounder and USBL system.

The work will be conducted aboard Njord Lapwing , which Spectrum Offshore will mobilise with their multibeam echosounder and sub-bottom profiler systems to perform high resolution multibeam and export cable depth of burial surveys during the construction phase.
