Six Times Around the World

C & C Technologies pioneered the world's first commercially operated AUV for oil and gas exploration, setting the standard in deepwater AUV capability.

C & C is committed to delivering the best possible data to its clients in a timely manner. "Our in-house AUV R&D capabilities allow for rapid innovation, maximum reliability and safety, and the most advanced technology," said Scott Croft, VP of Geosciences at C & C Technologies. Some of the current upgrades to C & C's AUV fleet include a dynamically focused side-scan sonar with a smaller beam width and a higher cross-track resolution (230kHz vs. 120kHz), and a sub-bottom profiler using lower frequency (1-6kHz) for deeper penetration with four transmit transducers and an 8-element receiver array. The C-Surveyor proprietary camera system takes flash-illuminated black-and-white photographs of the seabed. The camera is able to take photos at fixed time intervals and each photograph has a resolution of 1360 x 1024 pixels allowing for pipeline inspection and regional ocean bottom mosaics.
