The post facilitates mounting a hydrographic transducer for deployment over the side of a vessel to (-)8m below sea level and withstand forces generated by simultanious Hs = 4.0m / Current=0.5m/s / Vessel speed = 5 knots. The post was designed in 3 sections for ease of transport / handling & miscellaneous additional deck structures / equipment were also supplied.
The Outcome
Cube Offshore designed and delivered the hydrographic survey post on schedule over the Christmas period c/w detailed engineering calculations & drawings. Visual and Ultrasonic inspection were conducted to assess the posts structural integrity.
