Investment in Purpose-Built Facilities

The launch of the subsea calibration services has been made possible through significant investment in Oceanscan’s new Aberdeen headquarters, which features dedicated calibration facilities designed to provide controlled and repeatable testing conditions for a broad range of subsea equipment.

The facility includes five precision subsea calibration tanks for individual sensors and instruments, a medium-sized tank for larger assemblies and integrated systems, and a large calibration tank capable of accommodating more complex equipment and deployment configurations.

These facilities enable Oceanscan’s engineers to simulate operational conditions and perform detailed calibration, verification, and functional testing, ensuring equipment continues to deliver accurate and reliable performance in the field.

Supporting Data Accuracy and Operational Confidence

As offshore projects increasingly rely on precise environmental, survey, and positioning data, maintaining sensor accuracy has never been more important. Regular calibration helps ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications and industry standards while reducing operational risk and improving confidence in collected data.

Oceanscan’s experienced engineering team provides accredited and manufacturer-approved subsea and NDT calibration services, helping clients maintain equipment performance, meet project requirements, and extend the operational life of critical subsea assets.

A Natural Extension of Oceanscan’s Technical Services

The introduction of subsea calibration services reflects Oceanscan’s ongoing commitment to supporting clients throughout the full lifecycle of their equipment. By combining equipment supply, technical support, servicing, NDT calibration, and now dedicated subsea calibration capabilities, the company continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for offshore and subsea operations worldwide.

Whether supporting a single sensor or a complete survey spread, Oceanscan’s calibration team delivers the expertise, facilities, and technical assurance required to keep equipment operating at peak performance.
