Standard Subsea
Standard Subsea provides autonomous marine survey and inspection services using USVs and ROVs, paired with Contour, a software platform that keeps mission recordings, surveys, and findings organized by site. The system enables side-by-side comparison of pre- and post-construction surveys on shared coordinate footprints, with evidence linked directly to source data.

Problem
Marine survey and inspection projects generate large volumes of seabed data, mission recordings, and delivery documents that are often scattered across different systems. This fragmentation makes it difficult to compare surveys from different visits, locate the evidence behind specific findings, and maintain an accurate record of what was actually delivered to clients.
Solution
Standard Subsea builds autonomous robots for marine survey and inspection work, plus Contour, a software platform that keeps assignments, mission recordings, surveys, findings, and deliveries together in one organized record for each site. Each visit adds to the site's record, allowing users to examine surveys side by side—such as comparing pre-construction and post-construction bathymetry and side-scan mosaics on the same footprint. The platform links findings directly to their source data, preserving the exact location, measurement, survey dates, and source values behind each observation. Delivery records identify the exact products and revisions handed over, and snapshots keep a fixed record of evidence so later edits do not rewrite what was previously delivered. The robots carry their own inspection equipment and deploy an underwater vehicle, reducing the support each mission requires and enabling operations to be conducted from shore.
Target Audience
Primary users are marine survey companies, subsea inspection contractors, and offshore energy operators that need to plan, execute, and document seabed surveys and structural inspections with traceable evidence.
Features
- Site-based organization that groups all surveys, mission recordings, findings, and deliveries by geographic location and visit
- Side-by-side survey comparison with shared coordinate footprints, depth grids, and georeferenced mosaics for pre- and post-construction analysis
- Cross-cut tool allowing users to drag a divider and compare seabed profiles between surveys on a 1 m depth grid
- Evidence retention that keeps measurements, selections, survey dates, and source values attached to each finding
- Delivery snapshots that capture a fixed record of the handover, unaffected by subsequent edits to the workspace
- Support for multiple survey data types including MBES numerical depth grids and georeferenced side-scan mosaics at varying resolutions (e.g., 1 m pre-construction, 0.5 m post-construction)
- Autonomous USV and ROV capabilities for seabed mapping with multibeam and side-scan sonar, pipeline route inspection, and close-up structure inspection with video and imaging sonar
