video imagery and other 3D modelling systems. SubSLAM is touted as a real-time intelligent data collection system delivering 4K resolution video with simultaneous high-quality live 3D dense point clouds at sub-millimeter accuracy. Five SubSLAM systems are being introduced to the US, two deep water systems which can operate in depths down to 2000m and three systems which will operate in shallower waters down to 300m. A 6000m capable system is expected to be available from Q3 2023.Mounted on any ROV carrying out a visual inspection, SubSLAM can record all data in a single flight. Equipped
Interventek Launches Revolution-7 Subsea Landing String
and operational efficiency for the wider industry.“Our technology is modular and universal, allowing it to be scaled up or down in its configuration and capability, and integrated with other third-party equipment. We can offer simplified landing string systems, spanner joint systems, ultra-deep water systems and high-pressure, high-temperature systems depending on the field application.”For subsea well completion, intervention, workover or decommissioning operations, a landing string is deployed from a floating vessel, via a marine riser, to enable safe and environmentally secure operations
SMD Unveils Deep Water Nodule Collector
SMD said it has developed a new nodule collection solution engineered to maximize productivity and minimize impact to the seabed and the surrounding environment.The QC2000 Nodule Collector concept is based on SMD’s 50 years of experience in how to cut, move and collect soils, combined with deep water systems expertise, the company said.With a least impact philosophy, vessel productivity up to 1000Te per hour is achievable. The patent pending collection technique and process form a unique, energy efficient solution which has minimal impact on the seabed and surrounding environment, SMD said.Graeme
TES to Rent Out Sonardyne Equipment
“Utilization rates for our stock of 6G equipment are consistently high, so the decision to invest further was a straightforward one. We see the introduction of Mini-Ranger 2 as particularly significant for our business as it bridges the gap between low cost, low performance USBLs and complex, deep water systems. We’re not expecting it to be sitting on our shelves for very long.” Commenting for Sonardyne, Graeme Buchanan, Sales Manager in Singapore said, “TES has claimed a significant first by being the first rental company to order both Mini-Ranger 2 and WSM 6+.
