At Veiligheidsregio Utrecht they use sonar on some of their boats to locate missing persons and objects. This way they are able to cover large area and save their divers for hotspot diving and areas where the boat is not able to navigate. These firemen are trained to understand and interpret sonar images provided by their Humminbird sonar system. Allowing them to map the lakebed and identify the object or person missing. As they are always trying to make the hazardous work they do more safer they are continuously looking to use technology to do so.
Subsea Fundamentals provided an ROV capability training for them. By operating in 2 well known environments with an ROV on loan we were able to demonstrate in what way an ROV could improve diver safety and perhaps at the same time create an accurate underwater map. This way the diver does not operate in the unknown anymore and this could improve the chance of a safe and successful diving operation.
Are you also looking to provide your personnel with the knowledge they need to operate a underwater vehicle system. Contact us and we can see what we can do to bring their knowledge to the highest level.
