Tunnel inspection with Oceanbotics SRV-8 ROV

Veseth AS has equipped their SRV-8 ROV with 1000m of fiber cable for inspection of water-filled tunnels. Fiber cable enables them to send video, still images and sonar feed over long distances with full HD quality in tunnels.

Geologist Camilla Hermansen, Veseth AS
- We chose SRV-8 because it is very maneuverable, has powerful thrusters, great camera and multifunctional software where position and sonar image are integrated. In addition, we wanted an ROV system that is portable and easy to use.

Geologist Camilla Hermansen answers:

• BUVI - What do you use your Oceanbotics ROV for in your business?
  Camilla, Veseth - We carry out a lot of inspection work on quays and pipe terraces. In addition, we have ongoing major environmental projects in Norway and Sweden in a harbor pool where polluted pulp is removed and new pulp is laid on the bottom. Here, ROV is used to document layer thickness as a supplement to multi-ray data, and to inspect sea lines.

• BUVI - What made you choose to buy Oceanbotics SRV-8 ROV?
  Camilla, Veseth - We chose the SRV-8 because it is highly maneuverable, has powerful thrusters, good camera and multifunctional software where position and sonar image are integrated. In addition, we wanted an ROV system that is portable and easy to use.

• BUVI - How do you experience the Oceanbotics ROV? Driving characteristics and opportunities?
  Camilla, Veseth - We are very pleased with the ROV. It is easy to drive and has many advanced features that other ROVs of the same size do not have. It can be operated in any direction and the camera has high resolution. The software is very functional; one can set waypoints on objects found on the seabed and take measurements of them. When recording video, a lot of information is displayed that you would otherwise have to use several different software to see. In addition, both ROV and battery controls go so that no external power source is required for smaller tasks.

• BUVI - Do you have anything to say about BUVI Scandinavia as a business partner?
  Camilla, Veseth -BUVI are very good at service. They are always helpful with support, loan equipment and insist that we as a customer never lack anything.
