| Our products are all made from the highest quality materials, and are built to last through the extensive wear and tear that occurs during sampling exercises. Whilst we designed our range to cover a variety of onshore and offshore sampling purposes, we are able to build custom systems to accommodate different client requirements. Please call or email us and we can work towards a complete solution for your unique specifications. |

VC-450
The VC-450 is our standard model, and was designed as a highly capable all-rounder vibrocorer. The unit has an operating depth of up to 200m and weighs only 110kg.
Made from steel and aluminium, the VC-450 is a highly durable, reliable unit able to handle the challenging conditions associated with collecting multiple samples over extended sampling programs.

VC-450 Tower
The SEAS VC-450 vibrocoring system includes an aluminum guide tower assembly that can be configured for different core lengths from 1m to 6m.
The tower is fully demountable, packing into a single crate for transport. Assembly is quick and achievable on site for rapid mobilization of the coring program. The tower height and stabilizing legs can be configured to suit the deployment conditions and core length required.
The guide tower assembly’s lightweight aluminium tubing construction allows ease of handling and configuration to meet the coring program’s requirements and service vessel capabilities. |

VC-380
The VC-380 has a similar durable design to the VC-450 model, but weighs a lighter 65kg. We designed this model to be light and easy to handle, whilst still able to take 76mm diameter samples from depths of up to 50m.
This unit can take cores of up to 3m from a variety of environments and sediment structures, and is well suited to being operated from smaller work vessels, where having lightweight and simple-to-manoeuvre equipment is a necessity. |

VC-380 Tower
The SEAS VC-380 vibrocoring system also includes a scaled-down guide tower similar in design to that employed for the VC-450. This tower can be configured for core lengths from 1m to 3m.
The guide tower assembly is constructed of lightweight aluminium tubing for quick and easy assembly and on-site deployment. Its light weight allows ease of handling and for cores to be recovered from small work boats and platforms in situations where larger vessels cannot operate. |

VC-2000T
The VC-2000T was developed for sediment core sampling in water depths of up to 2000m, and yet only weighs 135kg. Whilst this unit can be deployed to retrieve single core samples, when used in conjunction with the SEAS MPS-3000 system the 2000T can take up to ten core samples per dive.
Whilst being similar in physical design and dimensions to the VC-450, the titanium construction of the VC-2000T keeps the unit relatively light whilst still being able to withstand the extreme conditions of deep sea core sampling. |

MPS-3000 Multi-Purpose ROV and Sampling Platform
The MPS-3000 system is a modular Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV). This unit was designed to take core samples at ocean depths of up to 2000m.
This new system incorporates the fully independent 75hp ROV in a package that includes a multi-function sampling platform, which can be configured to:
- Take up to ten 4m samples per deployment.
- Take bulk sediment grab samples of up to 200 litres.
- Collect multiple, individually stored smaller grab samples.
- Accommodate an array of sensors to meet client project specifications.
This all-inclusive solution is operated via PC based software that makes full use of the package`s sonar, gyro-compass, depth sensor, altimeter, video cameras, lighting and various other sensors and bathymetry tools.
Working in unison, the MPS-3000 and sampling platform is a complete offshore solution to sediment sampling and environmental surveys associated with sampling depths of 2000m. |
