Seatronics, an Acteon company, has recently placed orders totaling £1.7 million with Teledyne TSS. The purchases include 56 top-of-the-range Meridian Surveyor gyrocompasses, six highly-regarded TSS 440 pipe and cable tracking systems and a number of DMS motion sensors.

The Meridian Surveyor is a high-precision gyrocompass capable of providing dynamic heading accuracies of ±0.2⁰ even in extreme sea conditions. With a settle time of 40 minutes, the Meridian Surveyor is a British-built precision instrument capable of maintaining heading accuracies through turn rates as high as 200⁰ per second. By using state-of-the-art digital electronics and advanced manufacturing processes, exceptional reliability is built-in by Teledyne TSS so that users can benefit from a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of more than 30,000 hours.

The TSS 440s are also developed and manufactured at the Teledyne TSS factory near Watford, UK. The additional units reflect a steady increase in demand for rental equipment for the oil and gas sector plus the expanding requirements of the offshore wind farm industry.
