The HydraBotix
underwater inspection service has been formed to replace the need for
divers by using an ROV. Several years ago this would have been too costly
but with the advance of technology ROV’s are now smaller, faster
and able to descend to depths that could once only have been achieved
with submarines. ROV’s are now very cost effective and negate the
need for placing divers in any form of danger.
The major
benefit with an ROV is that a customer can see directly any problems rather
than relying on a diver’s judgement.

The
VideoRay Explorer system is 8-pounds in weight and can go to 150m (500ft)
depth.
The
LBV-150 can go to 150m and is equipped with sonar and manipulator.
The AC-ROV is the smallest, mainly for pipe inspections and is capable
of a depth of 75m. All our ROV's come with an ROV pilot, if needed.
