TriTech sensors cater to various professional underwater sectors. Originating from a strong presence in the Oil & Gas industry, the company states its sensors are renowned for setting industry standards, particularly for inspection class and work-class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) within the energy sector.

While TriTech's expertise initially blossomed within Oil and Gas, the company has adapted to the evolving landscape of the underwater industry, extending its reach into the renewables, defense, diving, survey/hydrographic and marine science/aquaculture sectors, where its high-technology sensors offer solutions to operational challenges.

Key among TriTech's offerings within the Energy sector are:

Gemini 720is: Acknowledged as the industry standard for Workclass ROVs (WROVs), the Gemini 720is is a single frequency, multibeam imaging sonar designed with ROV and WROV mounting in mind. Featuring a 120-degree field of view and a fast update rate of 30Hz, it excels in poor visibility environments. With an operating frequency of 720 kHz and an integrated sound velocity sensor, it provides sharp imagery and accurate ranging. Its ease of installation onto various underwater platforms, coupled with Ethernet or VDSL communications, makes it a versatile choice.

Super SeaKing DST: TriTech states the Super SeaKing DST remains the go-to mechanical scanning sonar for the Energy market. Renowned for its reliability and robustness, it can be easily mounted on ROVs, AUVs, and WROVs. Offering depth rating options ranging from 4000m to 6800m. Housings include aluminium and titanium, and it caters to a wide array of applications.

Gemini NBI: Widely utilized in wind farm seabed surveys and pipe and cable laying operations, the Gemini NBI (Narrow Beam Imaging) produces an acoustic image with a narrow acoustic beam, enabling precise target identification.

Gemini 620pd: A favorite in pipeline and trench surveying, as well as dredging and rock-dump surveys, the Gemini 620pd echo sounder boasts advanced signal processing for high-performance bathymetry data. It seamlessly integrates with industry-recognized survey packages for efficient processing.

TriTech's sensors are also integrated into underwater vehicles to enhance target location, identification, inspection, and navigation, particularly in low visibility conditions. The MicronGemini, the latest addition to TriTech's suite of sonars, stands out for its small size, lightweight design, and real-time, clear imaging. Popular with inspection class ROV users and micro and mini ROVs, it includes a built-in pressure sensor for additional data insights.

With a diverse range of offerings, TriTech continues to support underwater exploration.
