SEAEYE FALCON

The Seaeye Falcon is a portable, powerful and versatile ROV intended for professional inspection, observation and survey operations in coastal or inshore waters. Falcon can be hand launched and operated to its maximum depth of 300m. This system requires only a single phase A/C power supply. Falcon incorporates technology that has been proven in Seaeye ROVs used in the demanding environment of the international offshore oil and gas industry. Innovations include distributed intelligence control system and magnetically coupled brushless DC thrusters, which produce 50 kg of thrust providing an unbeaten 1:1 power to weight ratio.

Features:

300 metre depth rating
Magnetically coupled brushless DC thrusters with velocity feedback
4 vectored and 1 vertical thruster
50 Kgf thrust
Single phase A/C power input
Low drag umbilical
Colour video camera on 180 degree tilt mechanism
Auto Heading and Depth
Compass and Rate Gyro
Variable intensity lighting
1:1 Power to weight ratio
Video overlay

MINIROVER - MARK II

The Mark II Minirover is an advanced version of the Mark I Minirover. It has greater thrusting capabilities, more payload (i.e. tracking beacon), it offers a manipulator as an option, and the lights can vary in intensity. These advances make the Mark II ROV a perfect ERV (Emergency Response Vehicle) suited to any observation tasks, in practically any environment, including the offshore.

The Mark II can be operated in depths of up to 304 meters, and as do our other ROV systems, offers exceptional video through a forward looking pan and tilt color camera and a 0.5 lux black and white camera. The Mark II is also available with our TMS system, which allows for a safe and efficient launch and recovery of the vehicle when in an offshore environment.

Typical Mark II tasks include:

Hull / wharf inspection
Seabed observation / inspection
Open pipeline surveys

MINIROVER - MARK I

The Mark I Remotely Operated Vehicle is ideal for remote locations, or confined areas. The Mark I is capable of working in depths of up to 152 meters and provides excellent video quality by way of a low light, high resolution pan and tilt color camera. Its size and weight allows for cost efficient transportation to and from job locations, as well as low crewing costs. The Mark I is well suited for the following tasks:

Seabed observation / inspection
Internal pipe inspection
Search for missing persons
Search for downed aircraft
Storm drain inspection
Aquaculture facility inspection

LAUNCH AND RECOVERY SYSTEM / TETHER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Pro-Dive Marine Services' Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for the observation class ROV is equipped with a Tether Management System (TMS). The TMS LARS dramatically increases the operational capabilities of an ROV system by enhancing the ability to launch and recover the ROV in above normal sea states.

The TMS type of LARS also minimizes the potential for damage to the ROV during the critical air / water interface stage, reducing the potential for downtime on the job.

Pro-Dive's TMS LARS consists of a winch, an 'A' frame, and a garage or cage, which contains the ROV and the flying umbilical, that extends from the submerged cage to the ROV. With the 'A' frame extended outboard, the winch is used to pay out the umbilical until the garage is at the required operating depth. The ROV pilot is then able to pay out, or recover flying tether from the garage, using a remote foot switch. This enables the ROV to fly safely, and with minimal current related forces on the flying tether, enables greater ROV maneuverability.

The TMS can safely launch and recover the ROV to 300 meters and allows up to a 150-meter radius of excursion from the garage via the flying tether. The TMS LARS' compact size and skid mounting make it ideal for smaller vessels, as well as supply vessels, where deck space is of the utmost importance.The TMS can safely launch and recover the ROV to 300 meters and allows up to a 150-meter radius of excursion from the garage via the flying tether.
