Established in 1981, SRD is an independent
company providing specialised and innovative sonar services and
products to a wide spectrum of customers whose common requirement
is to visualise, monitor and measure particular aspects of the
sub-sea environment.
SRD has amassed a wealth of experience and expertise in the
field of acoustics and their use in a wide range of sub-sea applications
including; bathymetric survey, seabed clearance, specialised
dredging support, pipelay, pipeline inspection, wreck survey,
positioning/tracking, and other customised applications where
real time on-line project management and process control is
required. The compact SVS3 hardware means that transducers can
be deployed by various methods from small launches to semi-submersible
drilling rigs.
