What We Do

Subsea Coverage Without Sending Divers Down

ROV inspection delivers HD video, sonar and CP-probe data on subsea structures from the surface — eliminating the cost, mobilisation time and risk of saturation diving.

Observation-class ROV matched to water depth, current and inspection scope.

HD/4K video and scanning sonar for structural and pipeline route surveys.

Cathodic protection (CP) potential measurements at structural nodes via integrated probe.

Real-time live feed to topside enables remote engineering review during the survey.

Key Benefits

Why It Matters

Subsea

No Divers

Eliminates saturation diving — no hyperbaric chamber, no decompression schedule.

HD/4K

Video Coverage

High-definition imagery of welds, coatings, anodes and structural details.

Sonar

Wide-Area Survey

Scanning sonar maps pipelines, free-spans and seabed features.

CP

Cathodic Probe

Direct CP-potential measurements verify corrosion-protection performance.

Live

Topside Feed

Real-time HD feed — engineers review and direct from the control container.

Subsea

Visual Survey

Observation-class ROV inspection of subsea structures, pipelines and hulls in nearshore and shallow water.

Applications

Where We Deploy

01

Subsea Pipeline Survey

Route survey, free-span detection, coating condition, anode mapping for offshore pipelines.

02

Mooring Chain Inspection

Chain link condition, twist detection, fairlead and tensioner inspection on FPSOs and floating units.

03

Jacket & Substructure

Welds, brace condition, marine growth assessment on fixed offshore platforms.

04

Hull & Vessel Survey

In-water hull surveys for class compliance — eliminating dry-docking for routine inspection.

05

Subsea Tieback & Manifold

Visual condition of tiebacks, manifolds, X-mas trees and ROV tooling interfaces.

06

Quay & Port Infrastructure

Below-waterline structural condition of quay walls, dolphins and submerged piling.

Common Questions

FAQ

How is ROV better than diver inspection?

ROVs eliminate the cost and mobilisation lead-time of saturation diving — no hyperbaric chamber, no decompression schedule, no diver-day rates. They also reach depths and currents where diver work is unsafe or prohibited.

What deliverables come with an ROV inspection?

HD/4K video logged with timestamp and depth, CP probe readings at recorded waypoints, scanning sonar maps where applicable, structured anomaly register, and an annotated inspection report.

Can the ROV measure cathodic protection (CP)?

Yes. Our ROVs carry integrated CP probes for direct potential measurement at structural nodes — used to verify corrosion protection performance against design baselines.

What classes of ROV do you operate?

We operate observation-class ROVs for visual surveys, CP measurement and pipeline and structure inspection. Selection depends on water depth, current and scope.
