Find out about bachelor's degrees, postgraduate courses and all the educational courses offered by the UdG.
Teaching is concentrated in the faculties and schools, and the departments deal with research, which is also conducted by institutes and chairs, at the same time responsible for knowledge promotion.
The Unit of Underwater Technology (UTS) is part of the Research Technical Services (STR) of the UdG, which encompass a total of seven units that give support to different specific techniques.
The unit is created at the beginning of 2013 as fruit of the experience accumulated during the last years in the field of the robotics and underwater vision for the Group of Computer Vision and Robotics (VICOROB) in the Centre of Research in Underwater Robotics (CIRS) of the University of Girona.
The objective of the unit is to give service to groups of research of the UdG, institutions and companies through the technical infrastructures, equipments, and staff that this orders.
In order to request the services that the unit offers you have to get yourselves with the responsible staff in touch.
The Unit of Underwater Technology offers its users (so much to the staff of the UdG as external customers) access to its infrastructures and equipments:
The unit offers the service of a vessel cabinada of 7 metres of length with basis port in Sant Feliu de Guíxols:
Vessel with booth Ocqueteau marks model 695 of 7 metres of length, for 6 persons and with intragunwale engine diesel Volvo of 130CV. Equipped with the elements of security of the category IIIs for works in the coast. Also have Probe, GPS and Plòter Garmin 720.
The vessel is equipped with the following elements:
The tank of experimentation is treated of a cemented swimming pool and full of water clorada.
The tank is disturbed in the building CIRS of the Science and Technology Park of the UdG.
The measures of the tank are:
The tank is equipped with a room submerged with windows to be able to observe the inside.
Crane of 2T that travels longitudinally on the tank in about 2 metres of the verge is also equipped with a bridge.
A hyperbaric chamber with fresh water is offered to carry out tests of teams until 140 bar.
The useful internal measures of the chamber are 550mm diameter and 1600mm of altitude
Metallic structure is had to introduce big teams.
The chamber is under a bridge crane for the help in the introduction and extraction of the teams to test.
The service of realisation of underwater maps or batimetries using an underwater sonar offers itself multibundle and a GPS of accuracy with correction of position.
The unit offers the rent of a sonar multibundle of rank of the manufacturer IMAGENEX type Delta-T.
The sonar issues 120 rays and cover a rank of 120 cross-disciplinary bachelor's degrees and 3 longitudinal bachelor's degrees. Frequency of functioning of 260KHz.
Rent of a sonar multibundle of image of the manufacturer Sound Metrics model ARYANS Explorer 3000. Frequency of functioning of 3MHz.
This sonar allows to obtain real-time acoustic images.
Rental of underwater positioning equipment comprised of a surface unit and a submerged unit. The whole, called USBL, belongs to the manufacturer EVO LOGICS and models S2CR 18/34.
With this team the element submerged from the element of surface using an interface web can be located.
Rent of a GPS RTK of the manufacturer Trimble model SPS461.
Thanks to the cartographic service of Catalonia, this GPS brings us a great accuracy.
The unit offers the design, the construction and the advice of aquatic teams so much since it leans in the team of research in underwater robotics of the UdG.
The acquisition of the following ones equipment has been co-financed for:
