An external company required a suitable method of attaching our equipment to their ROV.
The company specified the charge NEQ required; method of detonation and the charge must be able to pitch at 0 and 15 degrees.
A new charge was created using existing products, aiming to keep inline with the company's typical nail-on disruptor.
The skid was designed in such a way that it had a single pivot point for the charge plate. This was free to pivot and could be locked into position using spring plungers.
Nonel (Shock tube) was selected as the method of initiation as we had established products using shock tube including a cartridge to house it. The idea was to have a quick way to mount the cartridge. This was achieved by using a rubber strap.
