Seismic equipment

Description

DanSeis in a seismic instruments infrastructure established as a consortium coordinated by the Geocenter Denmark and hosted at KU. 8 DanSeis instruments (marine seismometers) were lost in a past deployment. Following this, the DanSeis steering committee conducted some tests and analyses together with the Sercel, the company that originally built and sold the instruments to DanSeis. We determined what could have been the possible causes for the loss. These implied some liability on Sercel's part. As a result, they have offered to replace the 8 lost instruments (plus some accessories) at the reduced price of 4 instruments. These 8 are instruments of the same type of other 12 that DanSeis already owns. The replacement offered by Sercel will ensure that already-planned future deployments will take place with no interruptions.
