Plan:
The ROV is planned with the required target in mind to dive to a depth of 300 m and achieving dimensions, weight and electrical components which accommodate it in its missions.
Mission objectives:
1. Pipeline inspection:
Pipeline inspection is a major application in oil and gas industry. Inspection detects rust, leaks, deformations and pipelines’ thicknesses which ease maintenance operations.
2. Excavating Historical Monuments:
Egypt is famously known for its drowned monuments, our ROV is being planned to excavate monuments and safely retrieve them.
Tooling:
To achieve objective tasks we are aiming to plant toolings which will aid the ROV to complete its major tasks.
1. Water Jet (Fig 1.0): the water jet uses a huge pressure of water to polish the found monument or object from sand, dust, etc.
2. Skid (Fig 2.0): A Skid based on wheels that rolls up on pipelines, the skid has two manipulators terminating with cameras to inspect pipeline to check its exterior and project the live feed image
