About

Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult awarded a contract to Allerton Steel Limited for the Monopile Test Rig, valued at £94,987.

The contract supports the AUV3D Phase 2 project, which continues from a successful phase-1 that demonstrated technical feasibility of live underwater 3D reconstruction from vision at ORE Catapult's Blyth test facilities.

Phase-2 aims to extend and improve the technology and conduct more representative testing in test tanks and at sea.

The prototype from Phase-1 enables real-time underwater 3D survey from small, Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles, with the goal of delivering live, dense, 3D point cloud data to enhance efficiency and safety in subsea asset construction, operation, and decommissioning.
