Teledyne Marine HydroPACT 440

The Industry Standard for Subsea Pipe and Cable Tracking

Product Overview 

The HydroPACT 440 (originally the TSS 440) is the global benchmark for detecting, tracking, and surveying buried subsea pipelines and cables. Using Pulse Induction technology, it identifies electrically conductive assets regardless of whether they are ferrous (iron/steel) or non-ferrous (brass, aluminum, or copper).

Unlike magnetometers, which can be affected by the Earth's magnetic field or "lost" due to a pipe's own background magnetism, the HydroPACT 440 creates its own electromagnetic field to provide stable, real-time positional and Depth of Burial (DOB) data.

  • Pulse Induction Technology: Allows for the detection of any conductive material. It is unaffected by vehicle heading or terrestrial magnetism.
  • Deep Water Versatility: Available in 3,000m or 6,000m depth-rated housings to support everything from shallow coastal work to deep-water telecom cable surveys.
  • No Calibration Required: The system is "plug-and-play" on most ROV platforms, requiring no time-consuming vehicle-specific calibrations before a survey.
  • Real-Time Visualization: Using the DeepView software, pilots and surveyors get an intuitive graphical display showing target position, range, and quality confidence levels.
  • Target Scaling Service: Teledyne offers a specialized service where they test a sample of your specific pipe or cable to optimize the system's tracking algorithms before you go offshore.
