PLATES
Sercel provides heavy duty impulsive source plates that are
compatible with all impulsive source synchronizers available
on the market.
// FLOATS
Operated by major geophysical service providers, Sercel has
developed float technology for rigid and flexible Handling systems:
The smart keel system
offers flexibility and
maintenance efficiency.
This flexible float is stable
at sea due to its foam
inserts & is safe as no
inflation is required.

Portable Solutions
S ercel is the exclusive distributor of the turn-key towing solutions designed
by SeaScan Inc.
SeaScan Inc is the best partner for Sercel’s turn-key solutions as the equipment
is specifically designed for shallow water and transition zone areas.
The portable frames allow for quick mobilization and operations onboard multi-
purpose vessels or barges.
// TRI-CLUSTER®
Medium size array
The Tri-Cluster offers high power output thanks to its unique
point source design.
The array includes 8 sources, combining concentrated parallel
and square clusters for maximized acoustic performances.
The Tri-Cluster can be fitted with an optional cage protecting
the sources in hazardous water, such as rivers with heavy debris.
// MINI SLED
High resolution array
The MINI SLED is designed for operating 4 MINI
G-SOURCE for high-resolution surveys.
Light and compact, it benefits from the square cluster
powerful output.
// SHALLOW WATER HARNESS
Shallow water array
The USW systems are designed for small arrays or ultra-shallow
water operations.
Two versions are available:
• single sources (up to 2 sources)
• parallel cluster sources (up to 4 sources)
