/Company

Coda Octopus Products Limited is part of the Coda Octopus Group of companies. Coda Octopus is a Delaware corporation and has two engineering companies (England and USA) where it supplies to Defence Contractors. Coda Octopus Group also comprises of a Products business, Coda Octopus Products which has offices in Edinburgh, Florida, Australia and Norway.

Coda Octopus Products Limited was established in 1994 and it is a global leader and specialist in underwater technologies including being the patent holder for the world’s first and only real-time 3D sonar, the Echoscope®.

Coda Octopus Products Limited was founded from a research project at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, to develop digital acquisition systems for sidescan and sub-bottom profiling sonars, and was the first company to develop this type of technology. We have continued to develop this technology and support to this market and we now produce our 4th generation acquisition system, the DA4G and our GEO range of post-processing geophysical software, called Survey Engine.

During the past 21-year period, we have added a range of GNSS aided inertial navigation systems, our MOTION F180® series to our product portfolio. These compact and reliable systems are widely used by the hydrographic marine survey market. We have over 500 users of our Motion Series.

With offices in the USA, UK and Australia CodaOctopus has been designing, delivering and supporting products to the global offshore market and has developed such that the majority of our trade is now external to the UK.

/Echoscope®

We are also the manufacturer and developer of the unique real-time 3D sonar, the Echoscope®. This unique sonar and proprietary software, Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) provides real time 3D imaging (without the need to post-process data) and is the only system in the world with this capability.

This unique technology enables both:

· real-time 3D visualization of the subsea scene when poor to zero visibility conditions prevents the use of traditional cameras and

· high grade survey of the surrounding area including production of detailed bathymetry of the seabed.

The Echoscope® can be deployed on a subsea Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) or from a surface survey vessel. In addition to providing real-time 3D visibility, the sonar can be used in the same way as a traditional multibeam sonar to complete as laid surveys of the installed equipment once the installation operation is complete.

The Echoscope® has been used for a huge range of oil and gas operations including pipeline survey, pipeline installation, touchdown monitoring of large assets, connection of assets and general ROV navigation and survey. The use of the Echoscope® has the potential to reduce operating costs and time caused by poor visibility and weather outages affecting projects.

The Echoscope® and sister products the C500 and Dimension® have a huge number of applications including:

· Oil & gas – subsea asset placement including pipeline touchdown, sleeper placement, pipeline survey, cable touchdown, mattress installation and manifold/jacket structure survey.

· Breakwater Construction – real-time visualisation and monitoring of breakwater construction including block positioning, block auto-tracking, recording of block position and pre/post lay survey of the breakwater during and after construction.

· Security – real-time 3D survey of piers / breakwaters / quays and vessels to identify foreign objects, channel clearance and bathymetric survey

· Renewables – cable touchdown monitoring, cable trenching and cable pull-ins.

· Dredging & rock dumping – real-time monitoring of the dredge site and complex dredge areas.

· Diver inspection & support – real-time monitoring of the diver and dive team, improving safety and efficient direction of the dive team.

We have successfully sold the Echoscope® to a number of international customers who use the equipment for research, fish monitoring, subsea construction, bridge and river survey.

/Construction Monitoring System (CMS)

Our relationship with leading construction companies has resulted in the development of specialist software, Construction Monitoring Software, which when combined with our Echoscope® supports the end-to-end management of the breakwater project.
