1. Operational Challenge
Coastal highway bridges face high salinity, tidal currents, and marine growth that erode pile caps and underwater concrete supports.
2. Robotic Solution & Deployment
Deployed ROV Vector to perform comprehensive structural condition assessments and sonar seabed mapping around coastal bridge foundations.
3. Technical Methodology
ROV Vector conducted systematic vertical wall crawls and sonar sweeps of 16 coastal bridge piles, measuring biofouling thickness and rebar corrosion.
4. Execution Workflow
5. Project Results & Impact
Audited 16 coastal pile foundations, mapped concrete erosion rates, and provided public works engineers with exact repair coordinates.

Cooling Tower Sump Inspection
Cooling tower sumps are confined underwater environments where conventional inspection methods often involve significant safety risks and operational challenges. Draining sumps causes massive refinery downtime costing millions, while manual diver entry is hazardous due to chemical presence and active suction.
Water Storage Tank Inspection
Drinking water reservoirs require periodic structural audits. Draining tanks disrupts municipal supply lines and wastes millions of gallons of treated water, while diver entry risks drinking water contamination.
Bridge Piles Inspection
Bridge pile foundations undergo intense river currents and underwater scour. Mud-heavy waters render visual diver checks ineffective, and swift currents endanger human divers.
