Passive acoustics

Subsea monitoring

Passive acoustics is a method used to monitor underwater environments by listening to naturally occurring sounds. In subsea applications, this technique is particularly valuable for detecting anomalies such as fluid leaks, mechanical faults, or biological activity. By capturing and analyzing the acoustic signatures generated by these events, passive acoustic systems can provide early warnings and support condition-based maintenance. This approach is non-intrusive, energy-efficient, and capable of covering large areas, making it ideal for continuous monitoring in challenging offshore and underwater settings.
