1. Operational Challenge
Subsea weld joint inspection on offshore platforms requires detecting micro-cracks beneath painted or corroded coatings without scraping off protective coatings.
2. Robotic Solution & Deployment
Fitted ROV Genesis with multi-element Eddy Current Testing (ECT) arrays to scan submerged platform node welds through surface paint and marine growth.
3. Technical Methodology
The ROV maintained magnetic chassis attachment along structural welds while sweeping ECT probes over joint geometries to stream electromagnetic defect signals.
4. Execution Workflow
5. Project Results & Impact
Scanned 24 critical structural welds, detected 2 sub-surface fatigue cracks before structural failure, and eliminated expensive surface paint scraping.

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.
