Over 100 years ago, working in water depths greater than 100 meters, was inconceivable, possible only in the fiction novels of the time. The literary classic, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, written by Jules Verne in 1870, described a mysterious sea monster a submarine that travels to the deepest parts of the worlds oceans. This is an impressive accomplishment, even by todays standards!--Today, reality is mirroring the imagination of this brilliant author. Both commercial and government entities face the requirement of accomplishing tasks at ever increasing ocean depths. Our clients are often faced with significant technological challenges with relatively few options.--To this end, I would like to introduce Eclipse Group and our comprehensive range of subsea services. Our subsea capabilities successfully operate to depths of 6,000 meters. And, yes, we can still take care of your shallow water requirements!--Our core operational experience, combined with state-of-the-art assets and geographic reach, provides our clients with the resources and expertise they need to successfully execute their worldwide projects in search and recovery, energy, and government/military operations.--Our mission is to always provide safe, innovative and cost-effective solutions to our customer. Our brochure provides a comprehensive description of our corporate capabilities and operational experience. We welcome the opportunity to discuss any of our services with your organization.--Services Overview--Our core disciplines and experience, combined with state of the art assets, geographic reach and responsiveness has been applied successfully to projects world-wide in search and recovery, energy, telecommunications and government / military markets.--Program Management--EGIs senior program managers have demonstrated expertise in the management and acquisition of mission critical services and materials. EGI develops project plans to manage all elements of mission requirements including; engineering services, fabrication and materials, personnel and equipment, transportation, vessel and/or aircraft hire. We may be tasked to manage subcontractors in remote locations outside of the United States. EGI is experienced in working with foreign nationals and is versed in dealing with local government regulations, local law and cultural differences.--Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) Operations--Unmanned remote technology solutions are at the core of our business. Our subsea capabilities start at the surface of the ocean and descend to a depth of 6,000 meters. Every operation has its own unique requirements and mission. EGI utilizes our own in-house capabilities and those of our teammates to provide the best solution. EGI is developing our own line of ROVs that satisfy the requirements of our operators and the expectations of our clients. These ROV systems are purpose-built to provide safe, reliable operations and are mission configurable to perform specific client operations.--Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) Operations--EGI has entered into an agreement with a private entity for the use of their Bluefin 12 AUV. This EGI-operated AUV sidescan is depth-rated to 1,500 meters seawater and provides EGI with the ability to cost effectively conduct survey operations from smaller platforms and complements our existing ROV capabilities.--Cable Installation Operations--Cable installation is one of the technical services offered by EGI. In addition to EGIs extensive experience in the maintenance and operation of cable burial ROVs, EGI owns and operates its own cable installation equipment including linear cable engines (LCEs). Our equipment is rapidly transportable for mobilization onto vessels of opportunity (VOOs) allowing us to offer significant cost-savings to our customers for shorter cable installations versus traditional commercial cable installation vessels.--Permitting--EGI provides expertise in environmental site investigations and subsequent permitting support for development projects. Our environmental specialists begin by conducting desktop and field investigations to characterize existing marine and terrestrial site conditions including land or sea floor cover type, critical species habitat, marine mammal distribution, geological and sediment conditions and other environmental factors.--Our team then works closely with project management and engineering staff on project design and routing to expedite permitting approvals through minimized environmental impacts. This early involvement in the project design phase saves critical time and money in the overall life of a project. We analyze project effects and benefits on environmental resources in development of National Environmental Policy Act documentation including categorical exclusions, environmental assessments and environmental impact statements. EGI also brings extensive experience in other federal and state environmental permitting programs that may be needed for a project, depending on the scope and location.
