Selantic’s patented hydrostatic coring tool.
Selcore is a powerful yet lightweight coring tool that offers exceptional
cost effective and reliable core sampling. Designed to operate in water depths
as deep as 6000m. Selcore uses the high pressures found in deep waters to
power its hydrostatic motor, no hydraulic or electrical umbilical required.
The large diameter cores give high quality samples. Able to penetrate as
deep as 20 – 30m it is ideally suited to investigate potential anchor installation
areas.

The deepest Selcore has operated was between
Oman and India in 3500m of water where it reliably took 208 samples. The Selcore
has operated successfully the world over. Small enough to be air freighted,
at short notice, if necessary.
Able to operate from small research vessels, Selcore requires very little support equipment. In shallow water, Selcore can be supplemented with
a support stand and water pump that can be driven until full penetration
has occurred. As only water is pumped into the Selcore it is very safe to
use in areas of environmental concern, including fresh water sites. |
