Inspections
SSM has been involved in ROV inspections in differents industries from environmental near shore surveys to in-shore plants sonar 3D reconstructions.
ROV Inspections
SSM ROV inspection services provides a new approach to near-shore, on-shore and confined spaces underwater inspections. Our ROV fleet operates in different industries where environmental conditions presents a great variety of operational situations.
ROV inspections are extremely cost effective when compared to traditional divers'works. An important aspect for our clients is the risk mitigation during operations. With ROV performing the operations the safety is increased as diver time underwater is reduce to zero. Commercial diving is classified as a “hazardous” operations.
Our ROVs
Are able to work continuously underwater when powered from the surface, with no restriction related to decompression time or number of dives during a period of time. The range of action of our ROV fleet can go to 1000m depth and 3km in horizontal length, especially in confined spaces such as flooded pipelines or tunnels. ROVs can operate in hazardous conditions (toxic chemicals, low/high temperatures…).
Our ROVs are ranged from mini observation class ROVS like FULA that is a one-man deployable vehicle to workclass ROV. Special configurations such as crawlers designed for manipulation and maintenance tasks like cleaning or dredging are also available. We develop custom solutions for our clients needs with our R&D and engineering team. You can visit our technology section for more information about our fleet.
CASE:
PIPE INSPECTIONS
As an example of use cases of our technology combined is the expertise of inspection inside flooded pipes where we combined position, video and sonar to process and digitized the water pipe intakes with the capability of measuring different parameters depending on the situations such as pipe diameter reduction due to fouling and growth, wall thickness or corrosion. After the post-processing it is possible to represent and navigate virtually over the infrastructure.
