Subsea 7, CRC-Evans Enter Partnership Subsea 7 entered into a global tech- nology partnership agreement with CRC-Evans Pipeline International (CRC-Evans) that is intended to lead to both companies providing a range of enhanced pipeline fabrication serv- ices to the global offshore subsea engineering and construction market. C & C Opens West Coast Division C & C Technologies opened its West Coast Division and appointed Richard McGee as its West Coast Division Manager. The office will provide geoscience services and spe- cial projects along the west coast of North America, in Alaska, and world- wide. The C & C West Coast Division can be contacted at 1-425- 408-9190 or at: 17706 Brickyard Road, Bothell, WA 98011 www.cctech.us L-3 Klein Announcs SSS Seminar L-3 Klein Associates announced plans for a Side Scan Sonar (SSS) Operations and Maintenance Training Seminar from October 5-7, 2010. The three day seminar will be conducted at L-3 Klein’s Facility in Salem, NH. The training will include two days of classroom instruction and one day of on-the-water training. The seminar is geared to the operator, as well as to the manager, who wants a better understanding of Side Scan Sonar techniques. The instructor for the course will be Garry Kozak. For the past 27 years, Garry has been employed by L-3 Klein Associates as a sales engineer. He is a recognized expert in undersea search operations and travels the world providing con- sulting and training expertise to Navies and companies who have a critical underwater search need. To register for the class, please contact Carol Morrissey at 603-893-6131 or via email at Carol.Morrissey@L- 3com.com. Tritech Sale to NCS Tritech International provided sonars to independent offshore sur- vey company NCS Survey. NCS Survey has purchased a suite of Tritech sonars to assist in its survey operations, adding to its growing portfolio of specialist survey and positioning solution services. www.tritech.co.uk Teledyne Impulse Wins ISO Certification Teledyne Impulse achieved the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2008 certifica- tion from Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. Teledyne Impulse is one of a select number of companies to meet the stringent ISO 9001:2008 certifi- cation requirements. www.teledyneimpluse.com Two University of Georgia marine sciences researchers, Samantha Joye and Patricia Medeiros, have received rapid response grants from the National Science Foundation to fur- ther assess the environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Joye, Medeiros and colleagues from UGA and other universities left last week on an expedition in the Gulf of Mexico to locate, map and further characterize the deepwater plumes discovered in May in the Gulf of Mexico. Joye, a professor in UGA’s department of marine sciences, part of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, received $192,528 to pur- chase three cavity ring-down spec- troscopy systems. The instruments will allow Joye to quantify the com- position and concentration of methane, dissolved inorganic carbon and the dissolved organic carbon in seawater samples by identifying chemicals based on their interactions with light. Medeiros, an assistant research sci- entist in marine sciences, also received an NSF rapid response grant, this one for $100,900, to purchase a gas chro- matograph coupled to a mass spec- trometer detector. She will use the instrument to characterize the organ- ic composition of sediment and par- ticulate carbon in samples collected in the Gulf. UGA: Grants to Assess Enviro Impacts of Gulf Spill
