We have been designing and deploying marine seismic instrumentation for more than thirty five years and have developed complete systems to suit virtually every project scenario.
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY OBSERVATORIES
Tried and tested on successful deployments all around the globe, ours is the most comprehensive range of cabled and portable marine seismic systems available on the market.
As well as housing true broadband, triaxial sensors to capture the full seismic frequency range, a must for all passive seismic monitoring applications, we can also integrate additional sensors and gauges, vastly extending the application and capability of the solution to meet your project requirements.
LEADERS IN SMART CABLE SOLUTIONS
We're also proud to have deployed the Worlds first ‘SMART Cable’ to monitor seismic activity and tsunami risk in the Ionian Sea. You can read more about our work with SMART Cables here.
HARD WON EXPERTISE
Designing instrumentation for the deep ocean presents unique challenges. Decades of experience have given us unparalleled insight into developing systems that perform reliably in some of the world's most demanding environments.

What kind of system do you need?
We have solutions for every scenario:
Autonomous systems
Freefall deployment with onboard power and recording capabilities for 12 to 18 months. Our system includes the option to transmit data through the water column.
Ideal for: Instrument pools
Cabled systems
Where real-time data is critical with access to cable to shore or cable to buoy infrastructure. There are also options to include additional sensors for multi-disciplinary monitoring.
Ideal for: Alerting and early warning
SMART Cables
SMART Cable systems are deployed using commercial cable laying vessels. We exploit the unique capabilities of our instrumentation to meet the specific challenges this presents.
Ideal for: Ocean monitoring and early warning
Modular marine components
Supply of sensing or digitising modules for integration into a third party designed ocean floor monitoring system.
Ideal for: Bespoke engineered systems
