How Do You Get Your Ocean Survey Equipment? When it is time to order your ocean survey equipment, you can work with a rental company that operates on the shore. You do not need to order all your gear from some far-off company that you have never heard of. Plus, you can get custom recommendations from the equipment maker when you are preparing your boat. Contact the equipment designer that is close to your docks so that you can talk about the equipment you need to be successful. There Are Standard Devices You can get the standard devices that range from a CTD array to an ROV and an acoustic Doppler current profiler. You can get cameras and lights to attach to the ROV, and you can get a winch that will haul everything to and from the ship. Plus, you can get a data cable that will work with the winch to transmit information from your sensors or ROV back to the topside unit. You will get real-time information on the survey that you are doing, and you can determine the course of the survey if you already have this information. You Can Order Custom Equipment You can order custom equipment if you have specific needs that cannot be met with traditional gear. You know the limits of gear you have used in the past, and you can send your specifications to the equipment designer. Your gear will be made in time for your next survey, and you can use these devices as often as you need. Custom equipment is a very important part of many surveys, but it is not a requirement. You simply need to talk to the designer about how they can help you. Installation Happens At The Docks When you have ordered a winch or other accessories for the boat, those items can be installed on your boat when your survey is about to begin. This is the best way for you to get ready for the trip because you may not have enough people to complete these installations. Plus, the company that you have bought from offers rentals. If you are done with rental equipment, you can return that rental to the manufacturer as soon as you get back. They will come pick it up from your boat. USL And CTD Arrays You can get a standard CTD array built for your survey that will use several different sensors to give you information about the water, the current, and even the temperature. You can measure depth and pressure using
these sensors, and they can be installed in seconds. If you are ordering a custom device, you might get a USL array that is very compact. You do not need to worry about interference when you are using USL technology, and you can get accurate measurements in any part of the ocean. USL arrays are favored by researchers who want to add as many sensors as they can. You are determined to get accurate measurements throughout your survey, but you cannot do that if you are not using the right gear. Ask the equipment builder if they have a recommendation for your survey. A Final Note When you are setting up for your survey, make sure that you have worked with a company on the docks that can provide you with all the gear you need. The company should deliver all here items to your boat, and they will take back any rentals when your trip is over. You can order custom gear at any time, and you can rent something that is very common. You are able to save money, save time, and get your research done effectively.
