FEBRUARY 2019 AUS-ROV RECOVERS ROV STUCK 600M INSIDE A HYDRO TUNNEL IN VICTORIA

AUS-ROV was engaged by an energy generation company to takeover an inspection that was attempted by a third party dive contractor who was unfortunate to proceed with an inspection of a 900m length of tunnel with an unproven ROV. By splicing copper umbilical beyond the effective limit of copper data transmission the ROV lost comms and became lodged when the dead sub was being retrieved via it’s umbilical. AUS-ROV was contacted by the energy generator and mobilised to Mount Beauty in Victoria that week. AUS-ROV recovered the lodged ROV and completed the inspection flawlessly. We are professional and experienced in everything we do and repeat business is not an objective but a pleasure. We look forward to supporting our energy sector clients throughout the operational lifetime of AUS-ROV.
