MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL BASE FOR REMOTELY-OPERATED VEHICLES

Objetivo

To engineer, manufacture and demonstrate by land, shallow and deep-water test in simulated and/or operating conditions one prototype Multi-purpose Tool-base for ROVs (MTR). The trials are to demonstrate its capability to carry out a number of underwater tasks, in deepwater, which are currently carried out by special dedicated equipment of higher capital and operating costs than the MTR. The system is conceived as :
- one customised multi-purpose tracked tool base, with variable ballast capability,
- a suite of specialised tooling modules dedicated to various underwater tasks,
- one standard, free-swimming ROV of opportunity, providing all basic functions,
- one dedicated lifting umbilical and winch.
The ROV and MTR can be used as a free-swimming vehicle for routine intervention and underwater construction work. It provide a multi-function, mobile, stable, and powerful sea bottom work platform, capable of generating reaction forces as required to operate specialised tools used in trenching, pulling, point burial, dredging, and manipulative tasks.

An informal market survey has been performed, indicating a potentially profitable market for trenching services in the 1500 m range.
The MTR (Multi-function Tool base for ROVs) is an innovative concept of ROV-based, tracked, free-swimming, multi-function underwater vehicle. MTR is a system capable of being rapidly converted in a modular fashion to suit various mission requirements as demanded by the installation, maintenance and removal of hydrocarbons related systems, pipelines, energy and telecom cables, on the sea floor, in deepwater. The system is conceived as :
- one customised multi-purpose tracked tool base, with variable ballast capabiity, interfacing, in a modular fashion, to a suite of specialised tooling modules dedicated to various underwater tasks.
- one standard, free-swimming ROV of opportunity, of existing make, placed at the centre of the system, providing all basic operating functions,
- one MTR dedicated lifting umbilical and winch.
The ROV and MTR can be used as a free-swimming vehicle for routine intervention and underwater construction work. It provide a multi-function, mobile, stable, and powerful sea bottom work platform, capable of generating reaction forces as required to operate specialised tools used in trenching, pulling, point burial, dredging and manipulative tasks.
The project is innovative since :
- it establishes a new overall approach to the underwater vehicle operations, by developing a powerful, work platform, with variable ballast capability, for free-swimming and sea bed operations in deepwater.
- it produces a deepwater modular system capable of being rapidly converted to mission specific configuration, with performance comparable to one-off dedicated systems of higher capital, logistic and operating costs than the MTR.
- it reduces technical and financial risk by blending innovation with establish technologies.
- it will achieve higher equipment utilisation; by allowing the ROV, at the centre of the system, to be operated on a 'stand alone' basis with virtually "zero" reconfiguration time and cost.
