ROV Underwater Inspection
Our ROV underwater inspection services utilize remotely-operated vehicles as a tool to augment our diving capabilities. While nothing can replace the dexterity of a diver, utilizing an ROV for underwater inspection services and specific tasks in a project provides greater operational flexibility while adding an additional safety check prior to putting personnel in the water.
Many utility operators require use of an ROV prior to a diver entering the water. A dive site may be checked for the presence of differential pressure, obstacles which could entangle a diver or other potential hazards. ROV underwater inspection can also be used to locate objects and verify depths, which helps in better planning of dives.
