Problem
Traditional subsea inspection methods are complex, costly, and require significant logistical support, including large vessels and extensive crews. These factors contribute to a substantial environmental footprint and operational inefficiencies.
Solution
BeyonC provides a compact, lightweight mini-ROV system designed to streamline subsea inspections, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. The ACRO mini-ROV is engineered for ease of mobilization and deployment, enabling operations with a significantly smaller crew. Its advanced capabilities, including integrated sensor technology and precise maneuverability, allow for efficient data acquisition in challenging subsea environments. This approach enhances the overall efficiency and sustainability of subsea inspection services.
Target Audience
BeyonC targets companies in the Oil & Gas and Renewables sectors requiring subsea inspection services, including operators of jackets, pipelines, floating structures, offshore wind farms, cables, and substations.
Features
- ACRO mini-ROV system with a weight of approximately 40 kg, designed for 6 degrees of freedom operation.
- Patented integration with FORCE Technology's FiGS® 2.0 sensor for highly accurate Cathodic Protection (CP) inspections, enabling assessment of CP protection potential and remaining life calculations.
- Standard CP stab probe for standalone or combined use with FiGS®.
- Capabilities for General Visual Inspection (GVI) and Close Visual Inspection (CVI) utilizing high-definition cameras and lighting, allowing access to areas inaccessible by larger ROVs.
- Optional cleaning tool (Flexi clean micro) for spot cleaning applications.
- Integrated sonar (Tritech Gemini 1200ik) and optional DVL (Water Linked DVL 50) and USBL (Advanced Navigation Subsonus) for enhanced navigation and situational awareness.
- Deployment from small vessels or platforms with minimal workspace requirements, controllable via a laptop and hand controller.
- Rated for depths up to 300 meters, with ideal working depths between 2 to 100 meters.
- SYNCRO survey ROV under development for long-distance pipeline and power cable surveys, utilizing a battery-operated Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) to eliminate the need for DP vessels.
