Introduction
• Private equity and activist investor, Timothy S. Batchelor is a
former shareholder of Subsea Engineering, a company based in
Alpharetta, GA. At Subsea Engineering, Timothy S. Batchelor
assisted in revolutionizing submersible vehicle technology, which
ultimately led to the sale of the company at a 76 times return on
investment in 2018. Timothy Batchelor's work has been covered
recently both by Subsea World News and Naval Today.
A recent technological revolution has brought new submersible
vehicle capabilities to the routine maintenance of inspecting
pipeline connection systems. The latest advancements center on the
use of still imagery and high-resolution spatial video through
remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Remotely operated vehicles can switch between taking video and
images swiftly and with minimal adjustments, which saves time
and reduces costs. Also, due to their increased overall efficiency,
ROVs minimize environmental impact and personnel safety risks
by requiring fewer vessel days to complete pipeline inspections.
Unlike pipeline inspections carried out using acoustic survey
campaigns, the data recorded by ROVs leaves less room for
interpretation.
