New Magtrack

Magtrack is a compact, robust and lightweight cable tracking system that can very accurately detect cable position, trace the cable route, show burial depth and pinpoint cable faults. The system can be used on all subsea power and communication cables, carrying an AC current supplied by a tone generator or even the cable load current. Each Magtrack system comes with 4 small sensors which integrate 3-axis fluxgate magnetometers and inclinometers for easy installation and highly accurate positioning. It is typically installed in the front and in the rear of an ROV/ROT or a trencher, which allows you to also determine the slope and skew angle of the cable. Both raw and pre-processed data are transferred from the ROV to the surface vessel - for example, a cable-laying ship. The Magtrack data can be processed further into a survey system together with other relevant information such as seafloor profile data from echo sounding.
