In the event that a submarine in distress can not surface, the submariners have the possibility to wait for the rescue or if the circumstances require it, to evacuate the submarine via the emergency evacuation system. QinetiQ, from the United Kingdom, wanted to conduct evaluation tests of this system at different angles of inclination of the evacuation tower and to …

In order to assess the effect of a submarine in distress that would be in an irregular position on the ocean floor during the evacuation, the European company QinetiQ wanted to use the CSET as a platform to undergo controlled instrumented angle evacuation tests. The objective of the project’s first phase was to confirm the angles and depth at which …

For the launch of divers and their ascent, the IMQ has entrusted Innovation maritime with the mandate to design and manufacture new equipment that meets the standards of the CSST for this type of activity. In line with the new lifting equipment, a new platform has been designed and built, which also respects the standards of the CSST for diving …

The aim of this project was to develop a system for remote broadcasting and monitoring of dive parameters and video streams to facilitate real-time management and supervision of professional diving and hyperbaric treatment activities. The developed system retrieves video streams and other data relevant to diving and hyperbaric treatment (from the AxDDM system of the company AXSUB) and transfers them …

Innovation maritime was commissioned to carry out a study on the freezing conditions of the air distribution system of divers’ helmets. The simulation tests of the freezing in laboratory and the analysis of the obtained information made it possible to propose to the customer a methodology of action to be taken by the diver when they are victim of a …

Innovation maritime developed a submarine emergency evacuation simulator taking into account the specific training needs of the Institut maritime du Québec (IMQ) and the Canadian Forces School of Naval Operations (CFNOS). The CSET is a diving bell equipped with a replica submarine escape tower. This bell is moved vertically in a water column using mechanical systems. It allows training carried …
