Whether it's inspecting hard-to-reach areas, scanning moving structures, or conserving vessel time, ROV3D gives you the flexibility to get creative when solving unique inspection problems. Sure, there may be standard procedures, but that doesn’t mean they fit unique problems. When one client expressed difficulty in inspecting a moving riser, ROV3D’s relative positioning helped ensure that everything was scanned efficiently with live feedback. Another client needed to see the details in a small enclosed space, and ROV3D allowed them to hand a pair of small cameras to a diver to get the 3D views they needed. In yet another instance, vessel time was saved when ROV3D’s low risk allowed switching between ROV tasks without resurfacing and swapping equipment. It's all about finding the right approach for each unique problem. When new situations arise, look to ROV3D for the easiest, most flexible, and practical solution to get the job done. rov3d.com #ROV3D #3d #gvi #3dscanning #inspection #rov #subsea #offshore #renewables

🌊⚓ US Offshore Wind, Season 2: MV Bokalift 2! ⚓🌊 Last week, we kicked off the second season of major projects in the U.S. offshore wind industry. At Coast Line Transfers LLC, we're excited to play a part in this unfolding saga! The arrival of Boskalis' MV Bokalift 2 for Ørsted's Revolution Wind project, signals the next step for offshore wind in the US. As "Season 2" of U.S. offshore wind gets underway, the importance of every component is clearer than ever—from state-of-the-art vessels like the Bokalift 2 to local vessels for crew transfers. Committed to sustainable practices and local economic empowerment, CLT is poised to make significant contributions to this story. We're not just watching the episodes unfold; we're creating them, one impactful scene at a time. Join us as we advance, create waves, and build a greener future together! 🌱🛥️ #OffshoreWind #Bokalift2 #Boskalis #SustainableEnergy #USMaritime #Innovation #CLT #RenewableEnergy

2.2-ton Grab Positioning with The Gorilla ROV 💪 Our Gorilla ROV customer; Claus Drechsler from Drechsler Marine Consult, keeps finding innovative ways to leverage our powerful Gorilla ROV together with J.A. Shipping A/S in Denmark. Check out this impressive installation: 🔹 The Gorilla ROV precisely controls, a 2.2-ton grab with centimeter accuracy! 🔹 Precise heading control even during vertical movement, to avoid cable twisting 🔹 The Gorilla's payload powers the HPU system for grab operation 🔹 Utilizing the Gorilla’s sonar for long-distance object detection and its high-resolution cameras for close visual inspection This setup has significantly speeded up a challenging grab operation. We salute Drechsler Marine consult ApS and J.A. Shipping A/S for their innovative approach. Very cool indeed! #Subsea #SubseaInnovation #ROV #ROVoperations #GrabPositioning

The attack surface is increasing. Uncertainty prevails. Something is lurking in the mist! Oh, wait, this isn't a scene featuring #Lovecraftian monsters made out of iridescent black slime with multiple eyes. We're talking about that uncertain tug industrial operators feel with the rising number of #IoT devices and cloud security. FreeWave's Insights™ Data Platform — in conjunction with FreeWave’s Fusion™ radios with data encryption — uses a Zero Trust Security framework to keep data secure along the entire data pipeline and into the cloud. From #IIoT devices and other data sources to the cloud for analysis and then to an onscreen user interface, or dashboard, which custom-displays relevant data sets for different users depending on their position and permissions. No need to fear monsters when it comes to your #IIoT data at the edge. We are here for you. Read our blog: https://bit.ly/3xPGdNu #EdgeData #IIoT #IoToS #FreeWaveInsights

So what's next? Well, the PDRE rig, as is, was a first attempt, and we have.indeed, got thrust from it. However, the mixing isn't optimal (my mistake) and some other things are not right. It's clear from the recent series of measurement of gas volume , that we are getting less flow than expected. Again, we could have thought about that a bit more. It would help to be able to log pressure and volume flows, and also, we want to measure the exhaust velocity. Finally, there is the wobbly bench and springy load cell. Not a good combination at all. Instead of getting a single thrust peak from the detonation, we get a decaying train of superimposed sine waves. In principle, we could do a curve-fitting procedure to work back to the single excitation "spike" from the detonation, but it's probably going to be much easier (though more costly) to just get a stiffer bench and a different sort of load cell. In summary, the list of main proposed upgrades is: 1. Change gas supply to gaseous oxygen and methane 2. Install new bench (probably steel, custom built) 3. Obtain new logging system and add flow and pressure logging 4. obtain high-speed pressure transducers for engine tube 5. add differential instrumentation amplifier for (4) to defeat mains hum That lot should give us much more informative data and should allow much higher, misfire-free, pulse rates, once we have a new electronic control unit for the injectors. (BTW, I did NOT rewrite this with AI...) #rocketpropulsion, #pdre, #pulsedetonation, #rocketengine, #propulsion, #propulsionsystems

Check out our latest video showing the catastrophic effect parted mooring lines can have on surrounding structures. We've been working with leaders in marine safety to test arresting safety structures for these mooring line snapback events. We've written a paper and Ben Poulter is sharing the insights at Coastlink Conference and PIANC International World Congress. To find out more, connect with Ben. He's passionate about making a difference in high-risk industries. #mooringsafety #mooringlines #highriskindustries

Travel with us back to 2017, when we explored the deepest high-temperature #hydrothermalvents in the #PacificOcean in the Gulf of California’s #PescaderoBasin. True to its name, the Matterhorn vent site towers above the #seafloor, topped with a coppery crop of #Oasisia #tubeworms. This dense #chemosynthetic community was one of several we surveyed during the week-long expedition with research partners at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Dalio Explore Fund. High-temperature hydrothermal vents at #midoceanridges typically produce chimneys dominated by sulfide minerals. In contrast, the Pescadero Basin vents host delicate structures composed of light-colored carbonate minerals. The Pescadero Basin vents also host #deepsea biological communities thriving among carbonate chimney structures, including communities dominated by tubeworms. https://lnkd.in/ep2drcDF
