NEW UNDERWATER ROBOT TO SURVEY POLLUTION

Norway marine supplier, Agder Dykk, is extending its scope with a new underwater robotic vehicle.

The Saab Seaeye Falcon will initially perform a survey of Norway’s harbours to provide data on the status of sediment built up over decades of environmentally polluting activities.

Agder Dykk will also extend Falcon’s role across a wide scope of operations including multibeam survey, construction work support and inspection of cables, pipes and moorings, together with inspection of infrastructure for the Norwegian authorities.

In carrying out its duties, the Falcon will be sent on underwater tasks in seawater, inland lakes and also rivers in the lowlands and at higher altitudes.

Deep Tunnel

The robot will also be deployed in support of deep tunnel operations at hydroelectric power plants by Agder Dykk’s subsidiary company, Norwegian Tunnel Inspection.

Agder Dykk’s operational manager, Leif Brunvoll, said the Falcon was chosen for its trusted familiarity and because it is the right size vehicle for easy handling, with a flexible control architecture for fitting the wide range of tooling and sensors needed to undertake all the tasks envisaged.

The Falcon’s iCON intelligent control architecture provides each device on the vehicle with its own microprocessor, allowing tools and sensors to be added or changed, and custom options to be integrated.
