DETECTION AND TRACKING OF BURIED OBJECTS

With their unique ability to detect and characterise all types of object (insulating and conducting) in sediments, ELWAVE systems offer an innovative solution for detecting and tracking buried underwater objects.

The acoustic (sub-bottom profiler) and magnetic (magnetometer, tone-induction) equipment currently in use only partially meet requirements despite their high costs and their complexity of use.

ELWAVE products offer an operational solution for the following activities:

DETECTION, CHARACTERISATION AND TRACKING OF BURIED PIPELINES
DETECTION, CHARACTERISATION AND TRACKING OF BURIED TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND POWER CABLES
DETECTION AND CHARACTERISATION OF BURIED UxO AND MINES

Tracking capacity allows the ROV and AUV to automatically follow the cable / pipeline in real time.

The ELWAVE system can be adapted for different types of ROV and AUV and can operate at any depth (from coastal zones to deep offshore zones).
