Impact Subsea has delivered its ISA500 units to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
The ISA500 units have been selected to monitor the position of an ice boring tool in the Antarctic hundreds of meters below the surface.
During deployment of the ice boring tool, the ISA500 units measure the distance at multiple points from the tool to the outer bore wall. This allows the bore diameter to be monitored and regulated during the deployment of the tool, the company explained.
Ben Grant , managing director, Impact Subsea said: “The work being conducted by the British Antarctic Survey team highlights the diverse range of applications which the ISA500 unit can fulfil – from ROV altitude to tool deployment monitoring.”
