Innovative Solutions for Subsea Infrastructure Mapping

Teledyne Marine has developed a specialized range of products aimed at meeting the surging demand for accurate and repeatable mapping of underwater infrastructure, including cables and pipelines.

Across the globe, there are extensive networks of subsea assets, including communication lines, power conduits, and pipelines, stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers beneath the ocean floor.

this hidden infrastructure plays a crucial role in connecting continents, nations, and smaller islands, facilitating the flow of communication, energy, and essential resources that are vital for future generations.

As all buried assets require regular inspections and maintenance, the growing need for precise location data and burial depth—critical for both operational safety and economic factors—highlights the necessity for dependable, high-performance systems to survey the seabed and evaluate these assets’ characteristics.

The HydroPACT Series: A New Era in Detection Technology

The HydroPACT series of detection systems is founded on advanced technology that has seen continuous enhancements as its launch over thirty years ago. The original model,the HydroPACT 340,set a high standard for accuracy and reliability in pipe tracking solutions.

This was succeeded by the HydroPACT 440,which introduced enhanced algorithms and a more user-kind interface. The latest model, the HydroPACT 660E, is a compact version of the 440, specifically engineered for smaller ROV classes, focusing on minimizing size and payload weight.

Alongside the HydroPACT 350, which pioneered active tone cable tracking, Teledyne TSS provides an unparalleled range of products for underwater pipe and cable detection. This extensive selection caters to trenchers,large work-class ROVs,and smaller observation-class ROVs.

All HydroPACT devices feature a unified and intuitive topside graphical user interface known as DeepView. This singular interface streamlines the user experience, allowing customers to easily set up and operate the system, whether they are conducting pipe or cable tracking surveys or engaging in unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection.
