4,000m Gemini Imaging Sonar

Gemini’s rapid and dynamic visualisation of the underwater scene makes it perfect for deep-water applications where successful navigation and obstacle avoidance is required. Gemini provides instant feedback on changes happening in the underwater scene, which reduces overall operation time and increases ROV effectiveness.

Chris Echols, VP of North America, Ashtead Technology Offshore (US), comments: “Ashtead Technology Offshore is extremely excited to be the first to present, to the rental market, the latest generation of 2D multibeam sonar technology in the Americas region. We believe this will revolutionise the way ROV service contractors navigate in low visibility situations because of the Gemini’s wide field of view and real time imaging capabilities.” 

Dave McKay, Specialist Subsea Services (UK) also comments: “As an ROV contractor, we have been delighted with the performance of Tritech’s Gemini sonar. The Gemini was fitted to one of our Triton XLS 150hp work-class vehicles for a well-abandonment project and most recently in power cable lay and cable pull-in operations. In both these operations, the Gemini’s real-time field of vision allowed us to have a clear view of the underwater scene, which assisted our client field operations to run smoothly and more efficiently.”

Tritech’s Gemini sonar is on stand A8 at Subsea 2011, Aberdeen, UK or visit us in the US at Underwater Intervention, New Orleans, on booth 309 and Subsea Tieback, San Antonio, on booth 175.
