The Robotic Crawler

Don't let the weather control you

Working in the splash zone on offshore installations presents a unique set of challenges. In the splash zone, waves and structure-induced currents are constantly occurring, making it a naturally difficult area to work in. The difficulties presented in this environment can often make it too dangerous for work using traditional methods, such as rope access and diving.

To solve the bulk of these issues, we have developed The Robotic Crawler system which allows access to the structure without having personnel in the splash zone, and also enables work in the splash zone during much rougher conditions than previously possible through the traditional methods.

The Robotic Crawler system can hook on to the structure and safely travel to the required position where it can perform the required work. Once in position, the tool package is activated, and the job is carried out from a stable platform even with waves flooding the unit every few seconds. This represents a paradigm shift for working in the splash zone on offshore installations.

In other words, the Robotic Crawler is designed to be remotely controlled to keep personnel much safer above the dangerous work area.
