Press Release

Dexter, MI:  April 2005 was the month for international travel for SeaView Systems.   It saw SeaView complete two international projects, one in Canada and the other in Australia.  Co-incidentally, both projects were for paper pulp mills.

The Canadian project was for Neenah Paper in Terrace Bay, Ontario.  Using their easily mobilized LDROV SeaView was through customs and on location with less then two weeks notice.  The project involved a partial blockage of an effluent outfall.   In a timely manner SeaView was able to successfully identify the cause of trouble which proved to be accumulated small tree branches lodged in the line. The suspected culprit: Beavers!!

Just back from Canada the LDROV was about to learn to fly.  This time the project was in Tasmania, Australia.  The LDROV was packaged up complete with 5000' of umbilical into three cases with a total weight of 506kgs (1115 lbs). 

It's hard to think of a location more remote from Dexter, MI then Hobart, Australia but given our compact air-freight ready configuration SeaView was able to arrive on location and execute the project for Australia Paper at a very competitive price. 

The inspection involved operating from both sea and land (the sea portion off a 28' fishing vessel!)  The problem was found to be a partially collapsed line which was clearly shown on SeaView's profiling scanning sonar allowing an analysis of flow restriction to be conducted in the final report.

SeaView continues to make improvements and modifications to their in-house developed system on a job-by-job basis and plans for more international projects are underway.
