Velocious Australia has added to its portfolio of subsea engineering and remote technology services through the development of a new mock remotely operated vehicle.
Most recently used to test tools for Chevron’s flagship Gorgon LNG Project off northwest Western Australia, the mock remotely operated vehicle (ROV) has the capability to replicate every function a ROV would carry out in a subsea environment to ensure safety and operational integrity.
The Velocious mock ROV has been designed and can be configured to any industry-standard workclass ROV, including the six most widely used ROVs in subsea construction.
The first unit was the culmination of four months research and development and over $500,000 of investment.
It incorporates hydraulic power and controls, lights, cameras and manipulators, replicating every feature of a subsea ROV.
