Rovco sets up hydrographic services division

The UK-based Rovco has launched a new hydrographic services division in which it plans to invest £9.5 million over the next two years.

Rovco Survey Solutions will offer wind farm site and cable route surveys, seabed mapping, geophysical and shallow geotechnical services, as well as hazard surveys and UXO target identification.

This will go alongside broader offerings such as UXO disposal, marine habitat assessment surveys and archaeological investigations.

Rovco also plans to expand its survey team, already flexed to more than 45 people for recent key projects, by welcoming an additional 8 new survey staff members this month.

“The launch of ‘Rovco Survey Solutions’ represents an important and significant milestone for our company,” said Simon Miller, managing director at Rovco.

“Our objective is to fuse our immense talent of experienced surveyors and our inshore, nearshore and offshore operational know-how, with our cutting-edge technology and flexible approach. We continue to add to our hydrographic talent pool to grow our offering, enabling us to provide a single stop project-based solution for our customers.”
