OSDC provide Data Processing and Charting services to the Fugro Offshore Survey Division. Our focus lays on the support with survey data processing, charting and reporting to Site Surveys, Route Surveys, Geophysical Surveys, Pre-construction Surveys / Anchor Clearance Surveys, As-Built Surveys, As-laid Surveys, Pipeline/Cable Inspection Surveys, etc.. Our Data Processors are fully trained to process the Singlebeam and Multibeam Echosounder data including the preparation of Charts in the Microstation and AutoCAD Environment. Our Data Processors ensure that all data processing and charting activities are carried out in accordance with International Standards.

OSDC integrates and enhances advanced technologies like Multibeam bathymetry, Multibeam backscatter imagery, Singlebeam bathymetry and GIS to provide customers with innovative solutions that have redefined the manner and quality in which the seafloor can now be mapped and displayed. We have successfully conducted processing of offshore data, be it shallow water or deep water survey or be it real time or off-line.
OSDC started with its international assignment at FSLTD, Aberdeen which marked the onset and the constant deputation of personnel to various OpCos, like, FSINPVT, FSME, FSLTD, FSPL, and FSBV. OSDC has also tested the setup of terminal services connecting the workstations at remote offices or even the vessels directly.
All the data processors are trained by the experienced Fugro instructors from Fugro Academy in various data processing and charting skills like MicroStation and AutoCAD Charting Courses, StarFix Proc Training Course (Multibeam, Single-beam, Tracks etc.), Marine Charting Training Course, Gplot Training Course, Workbench Training Course to name some.
Our data processors are well trained and equipped to support various tasks like data processing and charting of Multi Beam and Single Beam Echo Sounder, Side Scan Sonar etc., creation of Mosaics and Charting, Charting of North-Up and Alignment Charts, Creation of profiles etc.
Our personnel are trained in offshore safety and survival courses approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Surface Transport, Govt. of India from recognized ISO 9001:2000 training centers in India specially for conducting offshore jobs.
OSDC can also provide round the clock processing depending upon the nature of work.
The OSDC manager is taking care and supervising the data processing work of each individual project received from the OpCos. Quality Control and Quality Assurance is maintained and audited by the support of the Fugro Offshore Survey Division’s Chief Surveyor.
A large number of projects had been executed so far which includes the projects from companies like O.N.G.C, RIL, GSPC, L&T, Allseas, Niko Resources etc. to name some.
The Multibeam data processing in Starfix is the area where the OSDC processors have the maximum depth of knowledge or to be specific the experience. Personnel are well trained in importing raw data in Starfix.VBAProc, processing the positioning device, motion sensors, echosounders and Usbl. Multibeam and Singlebeam processing is a part of the Echosounder processing.
GIS data with effective attribution and symbolization could be of great value to the company’s operation. The purpose of GIS is to obtain a comprehensive spatial dataset for all the survey operations done till date. Presently work is in progress in bringing all the data / information to ArcGIS Geodatabase format.
Since all the present information is in rudimentary CAD based systems, the GIS system would act as an effective way to organize the data along with its attribute information. This helps in getting a quick idea about the survey area and substantially reduces the time for searching and accessing the information required from a paper map.
Efforts are underway to do charting using GIS since it provides very dynamic and fast way of producing charts than the basic CAD system. The charts produced would be holding the same standards as that of the present CAD system. |
