Use case

Subsea and subsurface workspaces for offshore wind projects

See how developers and contractors connect survey data, ground models and cable designs in one secure, visual workspace - collaborating to improve visibility, communication and move efficiently from design to operations.

One view, shared understanding

  • Survey and ground data often live in disconnected systems, from GIS and borehole databases to ROV video and as-built reports.
  • Developers and contractors each manage their own datasets.
  • But without a shared view, teams spend too much time reconciling data, duplicating analysis. often missing valuable data and insights stranded in specialist applications or servers
  • The result is overengineering in design and inefficiency in maintenance, with insights lost across phases.

One platform, unified decisions

  • FieldTwin connects developers, EPCIs and engineering partners in a single geospatial workspace where survey, subsurface and design data come together.

  • All stakeholders work securely from the same model, in the cloud – visualizing, comparing and managing updates as conditions change.
  • FieldTwin makes sure the full array of available data is accessible to optimise designs, manage risk and streamline operations. 
How it works

An integrated view of seabed and subsurface data 

A developer and its T&I contractor prepare for interarray cable lay and seabed engineering while new survey data lands: interpreted ground models, boreholes and ROV clips arrive from different contractors.

In FieldTwin, the team opens a single 3D workspace to see the latest layers, compare microrouting, trenching and burial scenarios, trace cable options, and capture decisions that will carry into construction and O&M. Here’s how.

Connect survey and ground models

  • Borehole data, ROV footage, survey models, and GIS layers are all accessed in a single visual workspace.
  • Spatial and temporal data becomes aligned, so every decision reflects the latest seabed conditions and changes against historical conditions are recorded.
  • Design updates are modelled in Wind Farm Designer to compare and iterate.

Collaborate across disciplines and contractors

  • Give survey, geo and engineering team - plus OEMs and EPCIs - controlled access to the same model.
  • Annotate findings, attach key documents, maps and reports, and assign actions with versioned updates.
  • All stakeholders review changes in context, avoiding file swaps and ensuring a single, auditable source of truth for decisions.

Design and optimise cable routes

  • Use live ground data to plan micro-routes, apply constraints and evaluate burial/protection strategies.  
  • With Connection Designer, tag segments with specs, costs and installation parameters.  
  • As updated survey results arrive, teams can quickly simulate alternatives and quantify impacts on length, risk, and cost.

Build a digital record of change

  • Capture evolving seabed conditions and asset positions from early surveys through to operations.
  • Optimize designs and mitigate operational risk by comparing ground data over time - supporting better design confidence, integrity management, and long-term reliability.
The impact
