6,000m Underwater Research AUV
One of our European customers had a development program to design and build a 6,000m rated AUV to complement and support their existing fleet of underwater vehicles.
An AUV is an autonomous drone designed to accomplish intelligent missions without assistance from an operator. It was envisaged that the new vehicle would be able to undertake a high frequency of extended dives, whilst scanning the sea and visually inspecting localised areas near the sea floor.
Subsea Pipeline Inspection AUV
We were approached by a high profile and world renowned, Asian multi-industry company. They were developing a new design of AUV with a primary function to carry out subsea pipeline inspections.
The customer wished to appoint one manufacturer that could support all aspects of the various connector and cable requirements within the vehicle; thereby enabling them to partner with a sole supplier without the requirement to manage numerous suppliers.
Rapid Delivery of a Scope of Supply
CRE, designs and manufactures their own metal shell connector range and holds significant levels of inventory from other subsea connector OEMs.
This enables CRE to provide a complete service to a customer, offering CRE/OEM standard products as well as custom designed CRE product when there isn’t an industry standard product to meet a customer’s requirement.
Manned Submersible Quick Release
CRE supply several customers that specialise in the manufacture of one atmosphere manned vehicles for the private, commercial and military markets.
During a dive there could be certain scenarios where the release, from the vehicle, of items such as batteries or manipulators are considered necessary. Historically, this has been achieved using pyrotechnic fasteners and a guillotine that is qualified to cut the cable attached to the assemblies.
