01 Dec 2005

AC-CESS has continued its success in selling to international defence markets with the sale of the first AC-ROV to the French Ministry of the Defence after a successful demonstration at the Breast Naval Base. The representatives from the French Navy have asked for a further demonstration to take place at the Toulon Naval Base in 2006 Meanwhile, US distributors Deep Development Corp have agreed a sale to KeySpan Energy. Mr Trainor from Keyspan commented, 'Its size and mobility mean it can get us inspection footage of areas our divers cannot safely reach, at an overall greatly reduced cost. We intend to use it for the inspection of water intake canals at our power plants including pilings, dams, sheet piles, pumps and screen wash racks. Inside the plants we will use it to inspect piping systems that are always full of water. With the grabber arm we will now be able to retrieve foreign objects from these systems."
