Cable & Pipeline Detection Team

We are Seekable, an Amsterdam-based team of geophysicists, engineers, and software developers specialising in offshore, nearshore, and land-based cable and pipeline detection. Our proprietary subsea detection system has been successfully field-tested, delivering accurate cable positioning, burial depth data, and magnetic field tracking for safer, more efficient infrastructure monitoring.

Our History

Seekable’s mission is to deliver a plug-and-play cable and pipeline tracking product that ensures high efficiency, fast survey speeds, and full transparency. This mission reflects a broader vision: to make cable tracking technology more accessible, reliable, and easy to integrate into modern offshore workflows.

Our goal is to locate all buried cables and pipelines in a way that is transparent and trustworthy.

2022

Formation

The idea for developing a new cable tracking system becomes reality as Seekable is officially founded.

2023

Development

Over 18 months, the passive electro-magnetic (pEM) system undergoes theoretical modelling and controlled field trials to validate its accuracy.

2024

Breakthrough

The EM system is successfully applied under real-world conditions, proving accuracy and repeatability on both AC and DC cables.

Seekable gains Prysmian as its first client and delivers the world’s first drone-based cable tracking survey for intertidal areas.

2025

Expansion

In collaboration with N-Sea, demonstrated the high-speed cable tracking system via a ROTV (EIVA Wing), performing with 8–10× the traditional efficiency.

A key NATO member state also tests our pEM system for critical underwater infrastructure protection. Finally, the Dutch Ministry of Defence approves a KCI innovation project.

Present

Innovation

Seekable is continuing to develop our capabilities, integrating new technologies to make all offshore, onshore, and near-shore cable and pipeline surveys more accurate and more efficient.
