structures and environments from which submillimeter measurements can be in- stantaneously and repeatably captured.

The high resolution 3D models provide the precision and accuracy needed for detecting and assessing damage, devel- oping design and repair plans, and per- forming maintenance and installations.

The company has continued to expand since 2007 and has gained international prominence for its advanced subsea im- aging and measurement technology. 2G

Robotics is nearing a total of 50 systems built and deployed worldwide. The scan- ners have been used on all seven con- tinents to inspect pipelines, mooring chains, jackets, I-tubes, water-supply tunnels, and coastal retaining walls; to facilitate spool metrology projects; and to provide detailed archaeological re- cords of underwater historical sites.

Earlier this year, 2G Robotics solidi- ? ed its international presence with the formation of a global sales and distribu- tion partnership with Seatronics, an Ac- teon company. This partnership facili- tates global access to 2G Robotics’ high resolution underwater laser scanners and provides the bene? t of Seatronics’ ex- www.marinetechnologynews.com
