Teledyne RD Instruments (RDI), a division of Teledyne Marine, announced that it has been selected by marine engineering consultancy Deep Reach Technology (DRT) to support a landmark deep-sea environmental impact assessment (EIA) project within Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), supplying 20 of its Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) for the project.
This project focuses on the environmental impact of critical mineral exploration on the ocean floor. Installation of Teledyne’s ADCPs, overseen by DRT, is being managed by CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. The instruments were installed by CSA from the vessel Anuanua Moana, owned by Kiva Marine.
Acting as in situ sensors, the ADCPs will capture vital data on current direction, turbulence, and sediment plume transport. These instruments will be deployed on deep-sea moorings to monitor conditions across the full water column, delivering continuous insights over extended periods.
Teledyne RDI ADCPs are made in USA under ISO 9001 Certification, with each instrument individually handcrafted and tested prior to deployment. Designed to perform in challenging ocean environments and with over 50,000 units deployed worldwide over the past 40 years, RDI’s Workhorse ADCPs are proven to deliver reliable performance at extreme depths while providing high‑quality data for long‑term moorings and multi‑month deployments
