Armor-Hydro Limited is a Dublin-based marine survey and geospatial engineering firm specialising in high-precision hydrographic, photogrammetry and subsea inspection services. Drawing on more than two decades of offshore experience, the company delivers end-to-end solutions for cable route planning, burial assessments, desktop studies, hydrographic mapping and underwater infrastructure inspections, helping engineers and developers mitigate risk and optimise project design.

In the oil-and-gas sector, Armor-Hydro's "seep hunting" expertise covers MBES calibration, backscatter normalisation, real-time GIS reporting and USBL-navigated piston corer tracking. The firm also operates the Blue ROV 2 - a highly manoeuvrable, 6-thruster vehicle capable of inspections and research missions to 100 m (extendable to 300 m), with an open-source control system that can be readily expanded.

By combining cutting-edge sonar, LiDAR classification and advanced data-processing techniques, Armor-Hydro provides fast, affordable, and reliable survey outcomes for clients across the maritime, infrastructure and environmental sectors.
