Latest news from Imagenex and the DELTA-T multibeam sonar.

Delta-T multibeam systems have been in big demand this year with ASHTEAD TECHNOLOGY purchasing a sizeable stock of Delta-T 837A Profiler systems for their rental business - Hydro Products is pleased to be the supplier to Ashtead for their world wide operations. 

We have the full support services of Helmut Lanziner, Senior Applications Engineer from Imagenex in Canada, Helmut is frequently offshore conducting training and support for new users of Delta-T multibeams - he is resident in Aberdeen - his 2 week visit plan has developed to a 2 year stay plan ..!

We are pleased to have received good feedback from Acergy Group who have enabled us to further develop the multibeam sonars for the offshore market place - Acergy are assisting us with the introduction of a new Quad Delta-T configuration as well as other S/W packages related to the pipeline survey sector.

Sub Sea 7 is a well respected client of Hydro Products and they also have assisted us with the all important S/W upgrades inevitably required in the course of a new generation multibeam sonar.  The Survey Group at SS7 has been involved closely with Hydro Products / Imagenex from the early stages of Delta-T introduction to the North Sea.

Hydro Products anticipates a growing market for the Delta-T range of sonars with SS7 and others in the offshore survey and inspection market place.

These excellent operations connections with the offshore market has encouraged Imagenex to develop even more products for our users -  A new high speed scanning Imager ....

The BFS 886 , has the high scan speed capabilities of the multibeam imagers and the resolution of single beam sonars - this is new for ROV piloting applications and we are in the process of performing trials with various ROV operators during 2008.

Yet another new product - the Azimuth Drive multibeam sonar , has been introduced and trials are in planning stages for this sonar, also with ROV operators .  Benefits are that 3D images are possible in realtime from a stationary platform (ROV in hover mode or over-the-side from a vessel).
