But we also wanted to design a …

Solstice Side Scan Sonar: Finding Wrecks, Even When You’re Not Looking

Hunting for wrecks can be a challenging exercise, especially when only an approximate location is known and a wide area of seabed has to be searched. Even then, you need highly trained operators to interpret the sonar data and determine if a target is of interest or not. A major reason for this is that, …

Investing in a cleaner future

As an engineering company, we like numbers – very precise numbers in fact. While those numbers normally relate to water depth, range, frequency or days of vessel time saved using our equipment, etc., we’re currently getting to grips with some new numbers relating to our energy use and carbon footprint. At the beginning of this …
