Standard Definition Seamor

Standard Definition Seamor from ROV Innovations on Vimeo.

This is an example of the Seamor standard definition, high resolution camera that comes standard with all of the Seamor range of Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This footage was recorded on the Gold Coast - Visibility was about 7m, low current, but there was an intermittent surge of around 1m.

Freshwater Dam Inspection from ROV Innovations on Vimeo.

This video is an abridged freshwater dam inspection carried out in central Queensland, Australia. The original video was shot with a High Definition Seamor ROV in 1080p25 format. Being in a freshwater dam, the water was extremely turbid with visibility only approx 20cm. The Secuquest Vision Clear Enhancement hardware was used to increase underwater visibility, and restore natural colouration to the underwater assets.

Snapper Rocks Environmental Survey from ROV Innovations on Vimeo.

This video is a short extract form an underwater survey conducted at Snapper Rocks, on the border between New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Environmental conditions on the day were quite poor, with heavy clouds, rain squalls, 1.5m swell and a 2m surge on the reef areas. Footage collected with a Seamor High Definition ROV, originally recorded in 1080p25

Marine Survey with FRC Environmental

ROV Innovations were contacted by John Thorogood at FRC Environmental to assist in completing an underwater habitat survey of various sites around the Queensland and NSW border.

The inspection called for six transects of approximately 800m as well as individual surveys of habitat and species diversity on the snapper rocks reef.

Due to the open frame of the Seamor ROV, we were easily able to rig a specialised towing rig for the ROV, allowing us to complete each 800m transect within 20 minutes. The rig allowed us to tow the ROV along pre determined GPS waypoints, while still allowing full control of the vertical thrusters, camera, and lighting of the ROV. The stability of the ROV on towing was spectacular, allowing us to collect high definition footage of the sea floor quickly, safely and efficiently.

Conditions on the day were extremely average, with rain squalls coming through every 30 minutes which hampered the topside equipment, and there was a 2-3 meter surge around the shallower snapper rocks site. Even with these conditions, the high definition camera on the ROV managed to capture awesome footage of the marine benthic community at all sites, allowing the ecologists at FRC to identify with confidence a myriad of species for their report.

Eungella Dam Survey for SunWater and Neptune Marine

2/7/2015

The ROV Innovations Inspection team flew up to Mackay on Wednesday with Brian from Neptune Marine to assist SunWater in the inspection of some of their underwater assets an Eungella Dam. The Inspection consisted of two components, initially looking at the sealing of one of its outlet pipes, and secondly finding and inspecting a submerged concrete pipeline outlet tower.

The combination of the High Definition Sony camera in the ROV, additional LED lighting, as well as the VisionClear video enhancer, allowed the Sunwater engineers to confidently assess the situation 35m below on the dam floor. Our Imagenex positioning sonar also enabled us to quickly and efficiently locate the submerged intake tower that rose up to 28m depth, something that prior inspection companies couldn't locate due to the original tech drawings of the dams construction being inaccurate.

Due to the enhanced video feed, HD video, and Sonar, we were able to complete all aspects of the inspection and provide a live view of the assets to the SunWater Engineers. The dam inspection was completed within 4 hours, with the SunWater team being extremely impressed with the ROV and all tech provided by the ROV Innovations and Neptune Marine collaboration.
