Equipment servicing and repair
Overview
Maximise the lifespan of your equipment
Your Sonardyne equipment has been engineered and built to perform reliably in extreme marine conditions. Our global service centres are there to make sure it stays that way, year after year. Your goals are to save time and money and accomplish precisely what you set out to do in your underwater operations. After all, that’s why you’ve invested in Sonardyne technology. But like any precision equipment, it should be regularly serviced and maintained to maximise performance.
Overview
Our global centres and factory-trained engineers offer cost-effective repair, preventative maintenance and specialist sensor calibration services. So whether you are about to start a project or return onshore, you can be assured your that not only have we built your equipment, we’re taking care of it too.
Pre-deployment- what we check
A popular service for transponders which are factory-fitted with a variety of calibrated environmental sensors. Yet through operational use, knocks in the field and marine growth, the quality of sensor readings can degrade. This is why we recommend they undergo regular checks to ensure they remain within specification.
We regularly improve product performance and functionality by upgrading transponder firmware, so we’ll check to make sure your equipment is operating on the latest version.
Pre-deployment checks also include tank testing, where a full acoustic check is carried out. Batteries are also checked to ensure that they will last the duration of your operation.
Post-deployment – what we check
No one knows your transponders better than we do, so once they come out of the field and before you put them back on the shelves, we’ll perform a thorough diagnostic inspection. This includes checking and, if necessary, replacing the anodes, o-rings, transducers, guards and batteries.
