Submersible Systems, Inc. (SSI) was founded by Mr. Wolfgang Burnside in 1990 as a specialty ROV company only undertaking tasks within the vehicle specifications, primarily associated with underwater inspections and working in areas of limited access.

SSI has perfected over time its expertise in Level II platform inspections, pipeline surveys, basic drill support, template orientation, wellhead/net guard surveys, platform installation/removal, derrick barge and dive support.

SSI's ROVs are smaller units with electric propulsion which, while not only being friendly to the environment, provide sufficient proportional thrust to allow operations in currents up to 3 knots and down to depths of 3300'.

Wolfgang Burnside, with over 30 years of ROV experience, continues to supervise, maintain, and operate the ROV systems to the highest standards.

SSI's new facility is centrally located in Patterson, LA to assure a quick response for the customer while minimizing the mobilization / demobilization costs. SSI has designed its systems with the concept of being easily transportable and are totally operational within two hours of being on site.

SSI's safety record is second to none, which affords SSI to operate at the lowest modification rate possible.

Submersible Systems, Inc.'s objective is to provide comprehensive training for its personnel ensuring a safe and successful job completion with the highest quality of video and audio recording technology available that exceeds the customer's normal expectations. SSI's decision to remain relatively small in size only helps to guarantee its clients the highest possible level of performance, which reflects Mr. Burnside's integrity and commitment to the overall satisfaction of SSI's clients.
