Seabed will provide you suitable solutions in underwater sensoring
Underwater sensors are used to obtain accurate hydrographic information such as tide, wave height, depth, water temperature, conductivity, salinity, speed of sound, turbidity, current and more. Most of these parameters can be measured simultaneously, using combined sensor suits.
Tide Gauges
These sensors continuously measure the height of the water level in relation to a height reference. These measurements make it possible to determine the mean sea level in a certain area. Techniques used to obtain these data make use of either an acoustic source or a pressure sensor.
The Orinoco Solo V2 has been developed in-house. This easy-to-use product has evolved considerably since the first generation. The technique behind this gauge is an acoustic source above the water level. Pointing downwards towards the water level, it sends and receives a signal. The travel time can then be calculated and converted to a height reference.
CTD sensors and Sound velocity profilers
When working with submerged acoustic sources such as echosounders or sonar systems, the medium’s speed of sound should be known. Water is the medium through which the acoustic pulse travels and has many variables. These variables influence the pulse’s travel time.
The CTD sensors Seabed offers can measure conductivity, temperature and depth, the three most important parameters for calculating the speed of sound in water.
A sound velocity profiler measures these three parameters in the water column in which it is deployed and directly calculates the speed of sound.
Seabed is official dealer of FSI instruments and provides high-quality CTD sensors and sound velocity profilers for deep or shallow water.

Current & Wave sensors/profilers
The wave and current sensors in Seabed’s assortment derive their technique from the Doppler effect. Three acoustic sources emit their pulse in predefined directions. Depending on the orientation and set-up of the acoustic head, currents and wave heights can be measured. The data is computed into three vectors along the main axes. The sensors can be used in scientific research and the engineering of waterworks.
Seabed offers current profilers with a reach of hundreds of meters as well as systems for shallow water.

Turbidity sensors
Turbidity sensors determine the suspended solid and turbidity in water. The highly accurate turbidity sensor sends out a light pulse which reflects more or less depending on the amount of turbidity in the water. The amount of light that reaches the detector serves as a measurement for the turbidity.

Visual underwater inspection
When subsea visual inspections take place, divers often have to enter small places or go to great depth.
Seabed offers a small hand-carry ROV which can replace or assist a diving team in there visual inspection. The AC-ROV is the most capable and portable underwater inspection system on the market. A complete system comes in one rugged waterproof hand carry case with an all up weight of just 18kg. It defines the “hand carry” class in underwater inspection systems. CE Marked and certified for all “feet wet” applications, offshore, inshore or onshore, it is the safest and quickest tool for your underwater inspection. One person can easily deploy the system in less than 3 minutes. Not only can it be carried in one hand, it can also be controlled with one hand, leaving the other free to tend to the tether, take notes, operate the manipulator or answer your mobile. The AC-ROV is a single operator system and a new benchmark in ROV design.
