Pipe & Cable Detection Systems

With thousands of buried assets carrying supplies through our oceans from source to supplier, regular surveys and maintenance are crucial. The growing demand for precise location and depth-of-burial data for operational safety and commercial purposes necessitates reliable, high-performance systems to assess the seabed and its buried infrastructure. Teledyne Marine’s Pipe and Cable Detection Systems called HydroPACT provide industry-leading technology to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use in subsea surveys.

What is the Pipe & Cable Detection System?

Teledyne Marine’s Pipe and Cable Detection Systems are advanced subsea survey solutions designed to locate, track, and assess the condition of buried pipelines and cables. These systems utilize state-of-the-art electromagnetic and sonar-based technologies to ensure highly accurate detection and mapping of underwater assets.

How do a Pipe & Cable Detection system work?

The HydroPACT family of detection systems is built on leading technology that has undergone continuous improvements over three decades.

HydroPACT 440: Features refined tracking algorithms and an intuitive user interface for enhanced efficiency.
HydroPACT 660E: A compact version of the 440, specifically designed for smaller ROVs, prioritizing size and payload weight.
HydroPACT 350: Sets the benchmark for cable tracking with an active tone, ensuring precise cable detection and mapping.
HydroPACT Dualtrack: Dualtrack is the combination of the 440 and the 350 systems to provide the ultimate subsea detection system.

All HydroPACT systems leverage the DeepView topside GUI, providing a user-friendly interface that simplifies system setup and operation for both pipe and cable tracking surveys, as well as UXO detection applications.
