Throughout its nearly five decades of experience offshore, CSA has successfully used a variety of video systems in various locations around the world in depths exceeding 3,000 m for environmental baseline surveys, benthic habitat characterizations, clearance surveys, and general research programs. Within the last six months, CSA collected video and still images at 3,000 m depths for oil and gas operations offshore Mexico and Colombia using our older 3,000-m rated, HD video system. Based on our extensive experience, CSA has found that towed/drop video systems still provide the best value for offshore video data collection in many situations compared to ROVs and AUVs.
In order to best serve our clients, CSA has continually upgraded its capability to stay at the forefront of underwater imagery and data collection—the firm has visually documented thousands of miles of the world’s seafloor over the past 48 years. In addition, CSA has designed and interfaced the latest technology in photographic and video equipment to various platforms such as divers, ROVs, AUVs, and USVs as well as towed/drop video systems.
