ECA Group is joining forces with iXblue and becomes Exail 
ECA GROUP has designed and produced a comprehensive unmanned underwater system based on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) able to proceed to both shallow and deep water pipeline inspection up to 3 000m water depth. It is a reliable solution integrating a post processing data management tools and Autonomous Underwater Recovery System. Compliant with Oil and Gas industry standards ECA GROUP AUV solutions offer a great opportunity to reduce expenditures cost while enhancing data quality. This AUV solution integrates latest operational performances and highest endurance capabilities. This reliable AUV solution enables to carry out collaborative survey compatible with all ECA GROUP systems.
