Our client’s partnership with Cathx Ocean has proven to be a game-changer in their Pipeline Inspections for Pipeline Tracking and Freespan. The collaboration has not only solved long standing issues related to data acquiring and processing volumes and time but as a longer-term partnership will work together to identify solutions to accelerate autonomy. The case exemplifies how the right technology, when aligned with specific user needs, can yield unparalleled results.

Overcoming the challenges associated with seafloor surveys including poor visibility, slow survey times and accurate geolocation.

Working with the a client in Australia, Cathx Ocean’s Fast Digital Inspection for Seabed service enabled the client to radically reduce the time required to conduct their survey, reducing their carbon footprint and the risk to their staff and capturing world-class image and measurement data.

Overcoming slow structure inspection times and improving safety with less offshore personnel required.

How BP, Oceaneering and Wood used Cathx Ocean’s UHD imaging system to complete subsea structure surveys six times faster than traditional structure inspections. This changed the survey process going forward with reduced offshore personnel, 3D models and pioneering visualisation analysis software.

MERC Environmental, a leading Irish environmental solutions company, required a solution to effectively capture high-resolution images of underwater habitats around the coast of Ireland. Projects ranged from the mapping and monitoring of changes in seagrass and Maërl beds, and more recently, reef habitats, including biogenic and geogenic reefs. There are numerous challenges to this work which is conducted in shallow coastal waters off small vessels. Previously used tools from other vendors, failed to provide the necessary clarity, especially in challenging underwater conditions.

Overcoming the challenges of poor visibility in the underwater environment.

Working with DOF Subsea, we demonstrated how Cathx Ocean systems can eradicate the challenges associated with conventional imaging technologies and greatly enhance image and video quality in turbid water.

Overcoming the challenges associated with seafloor surveys including poor visibility, slow survey times and accurate geolocation.

Working with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Cathx Ocean’s subsea camera, lighting and software technology enabled tracking year-on-year changes in the fauna and seafloor, and investigation of spatial population density.

Overcoming the challenges associated with accurately surveying year-on-year changes in a seafloor species population.

Working with The Marine Institute, find out how Cathx Ocean’s subsea technology was used to survey the Nephrops population for sustainable commercial fishing, providing better subsea images, data outputs and increased survey efficiency.
