An extensive range of fully mobilised vessels and equipment
We operate a fleet of eight survey vessels permanently mobilised with high resolution bathymetry systems and inertial navigation systems suitable for inshore, coastal and offshore survey projects. All vessels can be mobilised with additional geophysical, oceanographic or ecological survey equipment. Other equipment can also be deployed from these vessels or from suitable charter vessels.
Our equipment pool includes high-resolution cameras and drop-down video systems as well as a range of oceanographic and water quality monitoring sensors.

Equipment
Drop-Down Video System |
 |
|
| Brand | C-Technics CT3023 SLV | |
| Location | System is portable; can be deployed from any suitable vessel. | |
|
Mounted onto a purpose-built sled, the C-Technics CT3023 SLV system can record high-definition video whilst taking full resolution still images. With in-built lasers set at 100 mm apart (for scaling), LED lighting (providing improved definition and colour) and adjustable tilt mounts, the system is ideally suited for all ecological and inspection requirements. |
||
AWAC and AquaDopp systems |
 |
|
| Brand | Nortek AWAC / Aquadopp | |
| Location | Systems are portable; can be deployed from any suitable vessel. | |
|
Our Nortek AWAC (Acoustic Wave and Current) and AquaDopp instruments are available to monitor the current and wave climate at the required deployment location. The instruments are mobilised on purpose-built frames with acoustic tilt sensors to ensure upright deployment. |
||
Vessel-mounted ADCP Systems |
 |
|
| Brand | Teledyne RDI | |
| Location | System is portable; can be deployed from any suitable vessel. | |
|
Our Teledyne RDI ADCP system is vessel-mounted to monitor current flow speed and direction down through the water column. Mobile monitoring transects are run across channels and areas of interest to the project, rather than at a single location. |
