Vantage ROV Navigation Software Paired with Echoscope Sonar
The Coda Octopus Vantage ROV visualisation and navigation software can be used with all existing and new 3D sonar in the Coda Octopus family, the Echoscope 1000, the Echoscope C500 and Dimension. Users can now choose between Vantage or Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) depending on the requirements for the task in hand. Typically Vantage will offer more utility for the ROV pilot, while USE offers more survey capability for pole-mounted and ROV applications.
The Vantage-Echoscope package has recently been deployed on a major multiple flowline installation project. The Echoscope was mounted on a work-class ROV and the Vantage software used to monitor in real time 3D the flowline touch-down point irrespective of the water visibility conditions which were extremely poor for part of the operation.
The use of the Echoscope / Vantage combination saved both the operator and the end client downtime on the project.
