Advanced Data Services

INSPIRE’s Advanced Data Services transform complex marine data into insight. Powered by the Popup platform, we integrate visualization, digital twins, and advanced analytics including automated feature detection to help offshore energy, infrastructure, and coastal resilience projects manage risk, demonstrate performance, and support confident lifecycle decisions.

Overview

Our clients collect large volumes of environmental and asset data for multiple purposes, often across disconnected systems. Through the Popup platform, INSPIRE brings these datasets together in a secure, cloud-based environment, making information easier to access, share, and apply to design, construction, operations and maintenance, and end-of-life decisions.

Cloud-Based Marine Data Architecture

INSPIRE’s Advanced Data Services organize complex environmental and asset information into a structured, user-friendly Popup platform that makes complex datasets easier to explore and interpret, streamlines data sharing, enables efficient collaboration among project teams, clients, and regulators.

We prioritize data standardization, integration, and cloud-based delivery to support portfolio-level data management and generate cross-project insights.

Digital Twins and Advanced Visualization

A 3D digital twin is a dynamic virtual model of real-world subsea conditions, built from image-based data, that enables ongoing visualization and analysis, supporting
decision-making from a client’s computer screen—saving time, reducing costs, and improving environmental insight.

Story Maps

INSPIRE develops StoryMaps through both the Popup platform and ArcGIS environments to translate complex marine datasets into clear, accessible narratives. Our data storytelling approach helps regulators, non-technical stakeholders, and the public understand project conditions, environmental performance, and change over time—supporting transparent decision-making and improved project acceptability.

Monitoring of the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) (2019 – 2024)

Our team conducted an analytical comparison of bathymetric survey data to assess the status of remediation activities at the Historical Area Remediation Site (HARS) in the New York Bight. GIS analysts normalized an appropriately 20-year record of bathymetric data to a 2017 surface and the performed comparisons for 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. Depth change models were developed and analyzed to estimate volumetric coverage of managed units within the HARS. These spatial analyses supported site management and monitoring decisions. These analyses were augmented by an interactive web-visualization with a slider tool that was developed to allow users to compare datasets themselves.
