The Tortuga ROV is a 500m depth rated underwater inspection robot. Each one of the 4 horizontal thrusters develops a 17 kgf thrust and is fitted with an unique azimuthal control system that allows operating the ROV in strong current conditions up to 4 knots, regardless of the direction. Thanks to its unrivalled thrust-to-weight ratio and its fully integrated acoustic imaging solution, Tortuga is the ultimate vehicle for underwater inspection in harsh operational conditions.
Long range configuration
For inspections in restricted spaces, such as flooded pipes and tunnels, the Tortuga is equipped with fiber optic telemetry to allow latency-free communication and monitoring over long distances. The fiber optic technology allows the transfer of important data volumes (video, sonar, probes, etc.) in real time over several kilometers. Thanks to its high propulsion power, the Tortuga can unwind more than 3000m of umbilical for long distance inspections of hydraulic infrastructures (intake galleries, outfalls, etc.). An electric winch with a capacity of 3300m of fiber optic umbilical, equipped with an odometry and tracing system, provides optimal cable management during operations.
