Basic Falcon DR
Fully equipped
  

SeaView System’s 1000m Seaeye Falcon DR Remotely Operated Vehicle is fitted with a fiber optic data transmission system and custom power handling equipment. The Falcon uses 4 vectored thrusters for horizontal propulsion in addition to a vertical thruster. By using SeaView Systems’ in house developed lifting umbilical winch and deployment cage system we have successfully dived to 1000msw (3300ft). In addition to deep vertical dives we are able to perform deep, long distance pipeline inspections such as hydroelectric penstocks and aqueducts out to 10 000ft.

The entire system is set up for air-freight as three packages with a total weight of approximately 2500lbs (1200kgs).

Tooling

5 - Function Manipulator Single function, three-jaw grabber with soft line rope cutter Sample scoop option for grip stick (4” scoop with open/close door) Rotary actuator for non-specific tooling functions

Sonars

Imagenex 881a Imaging scanning sonar Imagenex 881a Profiling scanning sonar Fitted with slaved platform capable of carrying Didson multibeam sonar or other multibeam

Video Recording

Video overlay display showing such parameters as time/date, penetration distance, pipe/station number, camera name, NDT sample reading, heading, pitch and roll. All three video channels recorded independently to high resolution DVR allowing consecutive playback of recorded video. Audio commentary recorded as required. Sonar/profiler data recorded continuously for later playback both as sonar file and as video.

Distance measurement (option for pipeline/tunnel penetrations)

Friction driven wheel line counter on umbilical.
Accurate to better then 0.3% of penetration distance.
Penetration distance logged to disk for post processing and displayed on center tilt camera video.
