ROV Services
The SeaEye Surveyor ROV is a high-powered electric ROV designed specifically for the light construction / survey / inspection market. It is a high payload ROV with capacity for job specific tooling inclusive of underskids, pipeline/cable tracking, FMD, NORM survey, CP measurement etc.
Our SeaEye Surveyor spreads are specifically configured for safe, reliable and low maintenance operations enabling survey work to be conducted with a two person crew for simple tasks on a 12hour/day basis.
Our ROVs are fitted as standard with two cameras (and an optional third camera for rear view), high resolution imaging sonar and robust manipulator with rope cutter.

| Pressure Housing | All pressure housings are machined from 6082 marine grade aluminium and hard anodised in black. A water ingress alarm system is fitted to the main electronics pod (EPOD). |
| Connectors | SeaEye range of 316 stainless steel metal shell connectors are used for high voltage and functionally critical connections. |
| Control System | 16 bit digital system providing easy interfacing to ancillary equipment by the operator. Comprehensive video overlay with digital and analogue compass rose, turns count, P&T icons, CP value, data time group, depth (metric or imperial), pre-titled and free text pages. Vehicle data may be exported to clients Survey or Navigation computer systems via the SeaEye Telemetry Inter face Unit in conjunction with a PC. |
| Navigation | Sensitive flux-gate compass unit with enhanced azimuth stability from a solid state rate sensor system. Accuracy: ±1° Resolution: 0.351° Up-date rate: 125mS |
| Depth Sensor | Separately housed electronic unit. Accuracy : <±1% of fsd |
| Multiplexor | Digital, 2 station |
| Auto-Pilot | Automatic pilot is provided for heading and depth. |
| Tilt System | Tilt platform providing ±90° of tilt from the horizontal. The camera platform is designed to accommodate most commercial TV cameras. The tilt is provided with positional feedback with the tilt angle displayed on the video overlay. |
| Propulsion | Right hand proportional joystick control FWD/REV, CW/CCW.Left hand proportional joystick control DN/UP, LT/RT. |
| Gyro | Switch for slave or free gyro operating modes. (The free gyro is used when the vehicle is near a magnetic structure.) |
| Optics | Variable control for pan/tilt position and lights. |
