MTR100: Coda Octopus Products
Established in 1994, Coda Octopus Products Limited has become a global leader and specialist in underwater technologies as the patent holder for the world’s first and only real-time 3D sonar, the Echoscope, which enables subsea operators to constantly monitor operations when poor water visibility prevents the use of traditional cameras. The company’s unique sonar and proprietary software, Underwater Survey Explorer (USE), provides real-time 3D imaging without the need to post-process data and is the only system in the world with this capability, enabling both real-time 3D visualization of the subsea scene in poor to zero visibility and high grade survey of the surrounding area including production of detailed bathymetry of the seabed to IHO S-44 Standard. In addition to providing real-time 3D visibility, the sonar can be used in the same way as a traditional multibeam sonar to complete as laid surveys of the installed equipment once the installation operation is complete.
