ROV weld inspection with a mid-size ROV and an ACFM array

Since 1993, Technical Software Consultants Ltd, have been producing Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) weld inspection systems to be used with Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). TSC has a software program which can model the access of ROV/Manipulator combinations. This model illustrated that mid-size ROVs would be able to inspect these structures. One ROV company inspection has had a front-end system including manipulator and sticky feet produced which can be deployed by a mid-size ROV. This ROV can also deploy an ACFM array weld inspection system.
