Global Industries Expands ROV Capabilities

  07/04/2008
Schilling Robotics has supplied Global Industries with two ultraheavy-duty UHD ROV systems during the first quarter of 2008. The Schilling UHD vehicles will allow Global Industries to operate in the harshest subsea environments and perform the most demanding construction and intervention tasks.
 

The ROVs feature 200 horsepower and are rated for operation to a depth of 4,000 metres. Each system includes Schilling's extended-excursion XE Tether Management System and features its Remote Systems Engine technology with gigabit Ethernet, high-definition video capability, and advanced auto functions. ODIM launch and recovery systems, featuring active heave compensation, are integrated with the systems on board Global Industries' new-build vessel Olympic Challenger.

 

The initial systems will be tasked to perform a wide variety of subsea operations in construction, IRM, SURF installation, general field development, and deepwater support.

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion

 

U.S. Geological Survey were out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyzes the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 

Gage height at the Williston gage was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgage at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
