What We Do

Four Disciplines.
One Principle: Solve It.

From shielded rooms to deep-sea AUVs — we deliver proven, field-tested solutions to complex technical challenges.

Primary Service

Electromagnetic Shielding & IEEE-299

Design, specification, and installation of high-integrity RF and electromagnetic shielding enclosures. Full lifecycle — from initial threat assessment and shielding concept through construction oversight to IEEE-299 certified performance measurement and documentation.

  • Shielded room design & specification
  • IEEE-299 certified attenuation measurements
  • RF protection consulting & certification
  • EMI/RFI diagnostics and remediation

Marine Robotics & Autonomous Systems

End-to-end support for unmanned surface and underwater vehicles in demanding offshore environments. Mobilization, deck operations, real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and 24/7 shift leadership — from harbour to the deep.

  • Maritime Robotics USV operations
  • Hugin Superior & SeaRaptor AUV mobilization
  • Kraken underwater battery systems
  • Shift leadership & crew mentoring

Seismic & Fiber-Optic Solutions

Specialist experience from OptoSeis distributed fiber-optic seismic projects (Petrobras) through towed-streamer EM acquisition with PGS/TGS. Large-dataset handling, real-time QC, and technical survey leadership in demanding offshore environments.

  • Distributed fiber-optic seismic (DAS / OptoSeis)
  • Towed-streamer EM acquisition
  • Large-dataset QC & analysis
  • Multi-vessel survey operations

EM Sensing & R&D

Custom electromagnetic sensor systems and instrumentation for marine survey applications. R&D contributions to Argeo's Whisper and Listen EM platforms. Innovation consulting where conventional approaches simply fall short.

  • Argeo Whisper & Listen EM systems
  • Custom instrumentation development
  • Innovation & feasibility consulting
  • AI/LLM integration for technical workflows
Technical Capabilities

Built on Platforms
Others Consider Complex

Proven, hands-on expertise across the most demanding systems in marine survey, autonomous operations, and electromagnetic technology. Not simulated in a lab — proven in the North Sea and beyond.

We adapt fast. A new instrument, a new platform, an unfamiliar protocol — we get it running, and we teach the team around us.

Field-Proven Engineering

Two decades solving real problems in real conditions — offshore, at night, under pressure, in the North Sea and beyond.

Inventive Problem-Solving

When the standard solution doesn't exist, we build one. Radical thinking, rapid prototyping, proven results.

Knowledge Transfer

We don't just solve the problem — we leave the team stronger. Mentoring, clear documentation, genuine expertise sharing.

Track Record

Proven in the Field

Hands-on experience from world-class projects across marine survey, autonomous systems, and EM technology.

Our Approach

Quiet Confidence.
Radical Thinking.

Solventor was founded by Christian Henriksen — an instrument specialist and field engineer with over two decades in marine EM, autonomous systems, and seismic operations across the globe.

The name says it all: Solve + Inventor. This company exists because complex problems deserve creative engineering — not just textbook answers applied by rote.

Christian thrives on new technology: AI and LLMs for workflow augmentation, 3D printing for rapid field prototyping, and the kind of lateral thinking that only comes from years operating at the frontier of what's technically possible. He brings that mindset — and genuine team mentoring — to every engagement.
