SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY
SIT prior to mobilisation. C-I can also mobilise all project equipment onto the vessel, without additional movements to/ from slips. For CI’s RLWI services, equipment and fluid can be staged prior to each mobilisation or between well maintenance (BWM). SIT and preventative maintenance can be completed at the new facility before the vessel is ready to start a well campaign. Te new location also features a dedicated waste fluid area, allowing the vessel to remove fluids and clean tanks efficiently so new fluids can be loaded in a timely manner. Guidry adds, “Our customers trust us
with providing a turnkey project execution solution. Having facilities dedicated to project execution creates a unique offering within the subsea service provider marketplace, and helps strengthen the trust our clients have in us.”
SOUND AND VISION Voyis Imaging is an expert in subsea optical inspection technologies. It says that the growth in ROV operations has drastically improved underwater situational awareness, but their effectiveness has been hindered
technicians or expensive third- party processing. Voyis recently launched its new product
C-Innovation’s new Louisiana facility
by a lack of advancements in their vision systems. Current ROV cameras still only offer two-dimensional data, prioritising vehicle piloting and situational awareness as the most immediate needs of the operators. However, both piloting and inspection capabilities can be significantly enhanced with a three-dimensional understanding, presenting a new frontier for underwater robotics. Seeing this as an opportunity to advance ROV vision systems Voyis decided to create a vision platform that could capture both low-latency enhanced video for piloting while simultaneously capturing high quality stills images for 3D modelling – a solution that could generate incredible 3D reconstructions without specialised
line, Discovery Vision Systems, to address the trade-off that is currently made between piloting cameras and 3D inspection cameras. Piloting cameras prioritise low latency video at the expense of the image data required for 3D model generation. Conversely, 3D cameras prioritise image data at the expense of piloting effectiveness, limited by a higher latency and smaller field of view. Te Discovery is a vision platform without compromise, delivering 4K piloting video together with 3D data. Voyis offers two versions of the
Discovery: the Discovery camera and the Discovery stereo. Te Discovery camera provides small
ROV platforms with a compact imaging and lighting payload that streams both 4K low latency piloting video, as well recording crisp stills images for direct 3D modelling. Te Discovery stereo brings true depth perception and real-time 3D modeling to ROV platforms operating at up to 4,000m depth. It maintains a wide field of view (75°x75°) and low latency for the piloting video stream, while onboard computing
