Falcon Eyes Brazilian Pipelines SUBSEA EQUIPMENT/UNDERWATER INSPECTION
Brazilian offshore IRM operator, SISTAC, has added another Falcon to their fleet of Saab Seaeye underwater robotic vehicles.
On-line fibre optic video surveillance of the ‘Pull in – Pull out’ pipeline connection process by the Falcon’s HD camera is the vehicle’s initial contracted task. Operators on board will monitor the process throughout the operation.
SISTAC Sistemas de Acesso already has Seaeye Tigers and Falcons in their fleet, and long experience working with Seaeye over many years means they like to keep their fleet standardised.
They say their choice of Saab Seaeye comes because the company has more than 20 years' experience of robotic vehicle manufacturing and SISTAC find their vehicles “very reliable in terms of operational perspective.”
They also like that Seaeye has a strong support team with a high degree of technical knowledge of the equipment and new technologies in the underwater robotics market.
An upgrade is also being made to another of the Falcons already in their fleet with the same fibre-optics system as the new vehicle.
