Edgetech 6205 and Reson SeaBat T50P Now in Unique Group’s Survey Rental Portfolio

Unique Group’s Survey Equipment division has recently purchased hydrographic surveying equipment to further upgrade its rental pool. The purchase includes two Edgetech 6205 Swathe Bathymetry Sidescan Sonar and a Reson T50P Multibeam Echosounder and will be available on rent to customers from the Group’s Aberdeen office.

The Edgetech 6205 is a vessel-mounted interferometric wide swathe bathymetry and sidescan system offering swathe coverage of over 200deg in shallow water when compared to other single head systems. The equipment helps in the faster and safer completion of surveys by providing superior coverage, rejection of multipath effects, reverberation and acoustic noise commonly encountered in a shallow water environment. The versions purchased provide 230/550kHz dual frequency sidescan data with 550kHz bathymetry.

The Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P is a vessel mounted multibeam sonar with distinctive features permitting clients to perform quick surveys with minimal processing. The system is specially designed for smaller vessel portable use and allows for fast mobilisation, minimal interfacing and low space requirements. Software features such as water column visualisation, autotrack, normalised backscatter and selectable beam density are available with this system.

Further Investments

The division also purchased the Innomar SES 2000 Medium 100 Sub Bottom Profiler earlier this year. The vessel mounted system provides visual data of very high quality that allows imaging of small buried cables that are otherwise extremely hard to detect with alternative vessel mounted systems.

The announcement of the new equipment purchase is in line with the Survey Equipment division’s strategic plans at the Ocean Business event in Southampton next month. The division, represented by its GSE brand, will be exhibiting at Ocean Business Stand L12. In addition to a wide array of display products, the newly purchased Edgetech 6205 will also be available on display.
