Marine Tech Talk

In this episode of Teledyne's Marine Tech Talk, we talk with Pim Kuus, Senior Hydrographer and Product Manager for Instruments and Imaging at Teledyne Marine, and Steven Le Bars, Business Manager at ID Ocean, to discuss their collaboration using Teledyne Resons T51 with ID Oceans SEABIM software. 

Breakwaters play a critical role in protecting coastal structures and ensuring the safety of ports and harbors. Ensuring their stability is paramount, as any failure can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions, and potential hazards. Correct block placement is a fundamental aspect of breakwater stability, governed by various factors such as contact, orientation, and density. Teledyne Resons SeaBat T51 and SEABIM software have joined forces to offer a comprehensive solution in pursuit of accurate and efficient block placement analysis. 

In this episode of Marine Tech Talk, we talk with Richard Jones, Vice President of Technology for Teledyne’s Oil and Gas division, and Matt Bartell, Director of Product Line Management for Oil and Gas business development at Teledyne.

We will discuss Teledyne Marine’s cutting-edge 3-channel optical feedthrough system for the oil and gas industry. The 3-channel optical feedthrough system is a game-changer in subsea connectivity by providing a secure and reliable method of transmitting high-speed data, power, and video signals between the subsea environment and surface equipment. The 3-channel optical feedthrough system represents a significant step forward in subsea connectivity. Listen in as we explore these remarkable advancements shaping the marine tech landscape and talk tech…Teledyne tech.
