IVM Technologies dives deeper: new photogrammetry unit rated for 6000 msw

IVM Technologies is proud to announce the award of two orders for the latest addition to its underwater photogrammetry Hydro Series range: the Hydro 6000.

The first units

Deep Ocean Search Ltd and Louis Dreyfus Travocean have both chosen the new 6000m rated system to support their specialist deep water operations.

The dedication and hard work of the teams have been crucial to the success of this project. The development of new algorithms to process complex subsea data, and the designing of hardware capable of withstanding the environment and pressures found at 6000m, was only possible thanks to combined teamwork and excellent project management. With the addition of the Hydro 6000, IVM Technologies has achieved its goal of offering the subsea inspection industry an advanced imaging solution for all depths, allowing their clients the ability of “Diving Deeper”.

Thanks to IVM Technologies and the Hydro 6000, DOS remains a pioneering company, capable of supplying the industry, scientific community, military and NGOs with all types of metrologies and 3D rendering, even down to the abyssal plain. Following the creation of the magnificent digital twin of the Endurance wreck, DOS is now ready to take on new challenges. Hydro 6000 has been fitted on [the] new WROV MarinerXL launched in June.

Strong teamwork effort

Like all products in the Hydro Series, the Hydro 6000 is designed for ease of use and seamless integration into existing workflows. Its versatility offers a high capacity for integration, from Light Work Class to Work Class ROVs.

Pushing the boundaries of technology requires relentless research and development, and the creation of a new product is always a humbling reminder of this. The Hydro Series can now reach depths of 6000msw thanks to countless hours of research, testing, and refinement. This new milestone opens up exciting opportunities for subsea inspection at previously unreachable depths.
