Atlantic Interconnector Route Survey

Long-range subsea cable route survey with bathymetry, SSS, and burial feasibility assessment.

Synthetic case study. Representative offshore workflow. No client data used. For demonstration only.

Operational pain points

Representative challenges SurveyIQ addresses — synthetic scenario, not a client claim.

  • Long corridor surveys span multiple vessel spreads with inconsistent daily reporting.

  • Burial feasibility and seabed characterisation data sit in siloed folders.

  • Route re-runs after QC failure are poorly tracked against original scope references.

  • Stakeholders need chainage-based progress without waiting for weekly summaries.

Representative workflow in SurveyIQ

From scope intake to deliverables — a demonstration workflow for cable route survey.

  1. 01

    Scope intake

    Upload or paste the interconnector route survey scope. SurveyIQ structures objectives, methods, and deliverables for review.

  2. 02

    Missing information

    Blocking and advisory gaps are surfaced early — vessel nomination, sensor configs, reporting templates, and interface points.

  3. 03

    Procedure pack

    Draft acquisition, HSE, marine, and reporting procedures are generated with source references for human approval.

  4. 04

    Work packages

    Approved procedures become executable work packages with owners, dependencies, and readiness states.

  5. 05

    Command center

    Offshore teams work from one project truth — department cards, stop-work awareness, and today's plan.

  6. 06

    Logbook & evidence

    Department logbooks capture events, downtime, QC snapshots, findings, and DPR source notes in real time.

  7. 07

    DPR & deliverables

    Daily progress reports and final deliverables are assembled from verified project facts, not end-of-shift reconstruction.

Example scope elements

  • Continuous MBES and SSS acquisition along the interconnector route.
  • Sub-bottom profiler lines at burial assessment intervals.
  • Boulder and obstructions register with recommended clearance.
  • Burial feasibility memo and route chart set.
  • Daily chainage progress and weather downtime log.

Representative outcomes

Illustrative metrics for demonstration — not measured client results.

Chainage progress

Live

Daily DPRs show km completed vs plan from work packages.

Re-run tracking

QC-linked

Failed lines tied to scope references and approval trail.

Multi-spread handover

Documented

Procedure pack preserves calibration and line status across vessels.

Burial assessment

Integrated

SBP results indexed to chainage in deliverable register.

Frequently asked questions

Can SurveyIQ handle long corridor campaigns?

Yes. Work packages and DPRs track chainage progress and QC status across the full route.

How are line re-runs managed?

QC failures trigger logbook entries and work-package updates with scope traceability.

Is Atlantic Interconnector a real project?

No. This is a synthetic representative interconnector route survey for demonstration.
