Subsea Systems & ROV Tooling

Define the platform, tooling, sensing and operating envelope around the subsea task—not around a generic vehicle class.

Home/Subsea Systems & ROV Tooling

Technical context

Define the basis.
Control the interfaces.

Subsea equipment selection begins with the operational objective, asset geometry, water depth, environmental conditions, intervention load and evidence required.

PICSA will distinguish company-controlled capability, specialist-partner capability and project-specific equipment. Verified system limits and availability will be published only against approved equipment records.

Engineering principles

What the scope
must establish.

These principles provide a structured basis for early qualification. Final requirements remain subject to the asset, location, client procedures and verified delivery capability.

01

Platform selection

Match observation, work-class or diver-supported capability to payload, intervention and endurance needs.

VERIFIED DETAIL REQUIRED
02

Tooling interface

Define manipulators, cleaning tools, cutting systems, torque tools and bespoke fixtures around the task.

VERIFIED DETAIL REQUIRED
03

Sensor package

Select cameras, lighting, sonar, positioning and inspection sensors around visibility and evidence requirements.

VERIFIED DETAIL REQUIRED
04

Operating envelope

Confirm depth, current, launch-and-recovery, weather, tether and vessel constraints.

VERIFIED DETAIL REQUIRED

Required inputs

  • Asset drawings and subsea location
  • Task objective and intervention loads
  • Water depth, current and visibility
  • Vessel and launch-and-recovery arrangements
  • Client inspection and reporting requirements

Expected outputs

  • Proposed platform and tooling spread
  • Operational envelope and limitations
  • Vessel, deck and personnel interfaces
  • Inspection and evidence plan
  • Mobilisation readiness requirements

Verification gates

  • Equipment records approved
  • Partner responsibilities confirmed
  • Tooling compatibility demonstrated
  • Operating limits reviewed
  • Acceptance authority identified
