The company flourished over the first 5 trading years and in 1988 was presented with a unique opportunity by a Leading Oil Company. NB Surveys was invited to undertake a feasibility study to investigate how Engineering Dimensional Control Surveys could be conducted in the hostile and hazardous offshore environment of the North Sea.
The success rate for Offshore Engineering Re-Vamp and installation projects was very low and often projects spiralled out of control, incurring high financial, shut down and re-work costs.
It was identified that by ensuring rigorous Dimensional Control to the offshore environment then costs could be reduced to acceptable levels, and projects brought in on time and within budget.
This method was readily adopted by all the Offshore owner operators and so NB Surveys became a prime contractor / supplier to both Owner / Operators and their Lead contractors.
During the last fifteen years or so, NB Surveys has continued to develop its own skill base and embrace any and all new technologies that could be brought to bear in the As-Building and Dimensional Control Service business.
NB Surveys has many long term employees who form a skill base unequalled in the industry, and that is why we are market leaders in Dimensional Control, Digital Photogrammetry and Rapid Laser Scanning services both onshore, offshore (North Sea) and around the world.
NB Surveys continues to invest in both people and technology and seeks out the most accurate and cost effective solution for its clients. The Company's philosophy is the continued exploitation of technology to provide the most cost effective solution for all disciplines.
