Riassunto

Many underwater operations that were once carried out by divers can now be carried out more efficiently and with less risk with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV ‘how-to’ manual for those involved with smaller observation class ROVs used for surveying, inspection, observation and research purposes. As ROV technology becomes increasingly efficient and affordable, their use is rapidly spreading throughout a myriad of industries, everything from aquaculture to port and harbour security to underwater crime scene investigation, marine salvage, deep sea archaeology and commercial diving - even deep sea rescue missions are handled by ROVs. Any industry involved with underwater investigation and surveying will inevitably rely on these machines. The ROV Manual is the first user guide to provide complete training and knowledge on ROV operations for engineers, technicians or underwater recreational enthusiasts, whether working inland or offshore.

One of few titles to focus on observation class ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle)

underwater deployment in real conditions for industrial, commercial, scientific and

recreational tasks

? A complete user guide to ROV operation with basic information on underwater robotics and

navigation equipment to obtain mission results quickly and efficiently

? Packed with hard-won, insider’s advice and complete with self-learning questions to aid

understanding

Dalla quarta di copertina

An invaluable how-to guide for engineers and technicians using ROVs for underwater operations

• A complete user guide to observation class ROV (remotely operated vehicle) technology and underwater deployment for industrial, commercial, scientific, and recreational tasks.

• Substantially expanded, with nine new chapters and a new five-part structure separating information on the industry, the vehicle, payload sensors, and other aspects.

• Packed with hard-won insights and advice to help you achieve mission results quickly and efficiently.

Written by two well-known experts in the field with input from a broad network of industry specialists,The ROV Manual, Second Edition provides a complete training and reference guide to the use of observation class ROVs for surveying, inspection, and research purposes.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and substantially expanded, with nine new chapters, increased coverage of mid-sized ROVs, and extensive information on subsystems and enabling technologies. Useful tips are included throughout to guide users in gaining the maximum benefit from ROV technology in deep water applications.

Intended for marine and offshore engineers and technicians using ROVs, The ROV Manual, Second Editionis also suitable for use by ROV designers and project managers in client companies making use of ROV technology.
