CodaOctopus Products is pleased to announce an agreement with Van Oord, the world’s leading dredging and marine contractor based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, to deliver Coda Echoscopes for deployment on various underwater construction projects.
Two of three Echoscopes ordered by Van Oord have already been delivered for their Middle East operations. In an interesting new application, the systems assist crane operators to correctly position massive 10 ton blocks (Accropodes) on the seabed, 7.5 metres (25 feet) below the surface of the water. In trials, the Coda Echoscope enabled operators to interlock these specialised Accropode blocks significantly faster than conventional technology and with considerably less risk, as it removes the need to use divers to position the concrete blocks. The real-time 3D information provided by the Coda Echoscope allows operators to work with an extremely high level of accuracy based on visualisation to an extremely high resolution.
Jason Reid, Coda Octopus Group President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “These deployments open up a large and strategically important market for CodaOctopus as a commercial supplier to marine construction projects. We could not be more pleased to be working with Van Oord, which is one of the most highly respected dredging and marine contractors in the world.”
