Abstract

A device deployment apparatus comprising: a body normally formed from a plurality of elongate members fastened together end-to-end, the body having a first end with a device often a sonar transducer, and a second end provided with a supporting assembly for supporting the apparatus. The supporting assembly includes movable limbs with feet (126) for locating and supporting the apparatus within a tubular. The invention particularly relates to the deployment of a sonar device in an I -tube (140) of an FPSO to monitor risers connected to the FPSO. The supporting assembly has limbs which are adapted to be set in a stowed position for transit of the apparatus within a tubular, and to radially extend in use to engage with the Mu be. The limbs are normally connected to an axially moveable member which may be a sleeve over the body or an insert with the bore of a body. Particularly preferred embodiments use a solid mechanical activation to move from the stowed to the extended position and so obviate the need for hydraulic components and their associated maintenance.
