GYPSY WHEEL

With the items being discontinued, Forth designed a bespoke Gypsy Wheel for a marine client for a working boat. The team took on the job to make and install the gear that drives the chains to open the storage doors on the ship, providing a solution when there was no alternative available to the client.

Lights

We regularly adapt and add lighting to machinery and equipment, and commonly add to the likes of long reach tools and ROVs to provide better viewing for the operator. We have a range of mobile, powerful underwater lights we can apply to machinery to instantly illuminate large areas.

Cameras

TForth has developed a wide variety of cameras to be utilised in any situation within a nuclear setting. Some examples include: an Endoscope

Pipeline Inspection System fitted with a waterproof camera and six LED lights which can, for instance, be used to inspect drain sewers; a rugged, yet intelligent, Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ)

Pipe Camera System which allows the operator a clear 360 degree view of surroundings and can be deployed; a miniscule 23mm Camera System which is perfect to inspect confined spaces; a specialist PTZ 50mm Underwater Camera which allows clear and reliable viewing underwater.

A2i2

Forth is in the process of developing an innovative autonomous underwater survey robot, Autonomous Aquatic Inspection and Intervention (A2I2), aimed at saving industries across the world hundreds of millions of pounds each year. A2I2 is an intelligent, tetherless robot fitted with sonar technology to detect and avoid obstacles underwater, and in hazardous environments such as storage ponds on nuclear sites.

Panther

Forth designed and manufactured the Panther Track Robot to be utilised for any solution necessary with the capabilities to adapt to various terrain and change operations being endless. The robot is adaptable by including various end effectors, and is remotely operated by a control panel. This control panel is watertight, airtight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof.
