"quattro" SBP

Model quattro (formerly SES-2000 quattro)

Four-transducer parametric SBP for very high data density in extremely shallow water, e.g. pipeline, cable, site-risk and archaeological surveys.

Description

The Innomar "quattro" uses four transducers to deliver very high data density in extremely shallow water. Innomar provides a gridding tool and third-party visualisation software for 3D display of the sub-bottom data, and the system can run in quattro mode or single beam mode. It was launched in 2015 as the "SES-2000 quattro"; the latest generation was introduced in 2021.

Key features

  • Water depth 0.5 – 600 m; sediment penetration up to 50 m
  • Frequencies 4 – 15 kHz
  • Ping rate up to 15 Hz (quattro mode) or 60 Hz (single beam mode)
  • Heave compensation; roll and pitch in post-processing
  • Power consumption <300 W

Applications

  • Pipeline and cable surveys
  • Risk mitigation at offshore building sites
  • Archaeological surveys

Software and data

  • Full-waveform data, exportable as SEG-Y for any seismic software
  • Operated with Innomar SESWIN acquisition software
  • Post-processing with Innomar ISE
