ROV & AUV Operations

Subsea robotics extends safe reach, endurance, and data quality when divers can’t or shouldn’t go. Inspection-class ROVs deliver stabilized video, calibrated stills, CP/contact probes, and laser scaling on hulls, berths, risers, caissons, intakes/outfalls, and structural members. For higher energy or tooling, work-class ROVs add manipulators, torque tools, cutters, grinders, and fluid injection to execute repairs and installation tasks to engineered procedures.

When the priority is coverage and repeatability, AUVs run long autonomous lines for bathymetry, side-scan, sub-bottom (where scoped), and environmental sensors—ideal for route surveys, habitat mapping, and change detection. Robotic missions are planned around tides, currents, traffic windows, and permit constraints; providers stage spares, topside control, and data workflows to minimize downtime. Navigation stacks combine USBL/LBL/DVL/INS with patch-tested sonar and camera calibrations, producing GIS-ready layers, mosaics, and defect registers that flow straight into your asset or geodata systems.

Safety and compliance underpin every job: method statements, HAZID/JSAs, toolbox talks, lock-out/tag-out, and environmental controls are standard. Deliverables include media logs, time/depth overlays, CP/UT tables, and concise close-out reports aligned to class or regulator expectations.
