SeaSPY

Plan Your Survey. Not Your Sensor.

You know what’s better than a well-worn survey setup routine?
No survey setup routine.

Warm-up, gas cells, and line planning around dead zones aren’t endemic to magnetometry. Just cesium.

Applications:

Ideal for cable and pipeline survey

Deployments:

Boat TowSide Scan

Gradiometry Systematized

Rigid frame gradiometers are best suited for short-baseline applications where relative positional accuracy is key.

Eliminate geological and diurnal interference to detect small ferrous targets in real time.

Track cables or pipelines from relatively high towing altitudes.

Start recovery efforts while the survey’s still in progress.

Build Quality

Specialization matters

Short Baseline

Eliminate geological and diurnal interference, and emphasize near-surface objects in real-time so that recovery efforts can be started while the survey is in progress.

Anodized composite frame

Reduces drag by a factor of 10. It’s lighter to carry on land but actually stronger. New!

Sleek stable Design

Resists snags and minimizes impacts. The polyurethane coated tail with molded fins acts as a bumper, while creating a stable towing platform.

Unmatched Absolute Accuracy

0.01 nT accuracy and unmatched repeatability between sensors ensures best possible data.

Quick Glance Diagnostics

Automatic poxwer supply cutoff, and leak detection give you plenty of time to pull the mag before damage.

Works Instantly on Power-up

Data collected at –40°C will be identical to data collected at +60°C even without warmup.

Make SeaSPY2 H-Grad a perfect fit for your application.
