ONA Marine recently completed an interesting job designing and building hydrophone brackets for our standard screw anchors.
At the request of a research client with an urgent need to deploy acoustic receivers on ONA Marine screw anchors in the Pilbara, we were able to design and build simple robust brackets for two types of InnovaSea Vemco acoustic telemetry sensors devices. The brackets needed to be able to survive the harsh tidal environment. They needed to be able to operate both upright and upside down operation of the devices since their deployment orientation was part of the research focus. One was deployed at a time on each of the anchors.
The sheet metal brackets were developed using 3D modelling and produced in our workshop in record time. This was another great example of us developing bespoke solutions for the local research community including Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development (DPIRD)
