Underwater inspection

The condition of underwater structures is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Traditional inspection methods, such as draining areas or deploying divers, are often time-consuming, expensive, and not always practical.

With our robotic technology, you receive fast and precisely validated information, without risk and without operational interruptions. The detailed analysis results enable well-founded planning of maintenance and refurbishment measures. Whether for regular inspections, root cause analysis of performance losses, or preparation for refurbishment projects, our flexible underwater inspection ensures reliable and efficient structural monitoring.

Fast access to relevant digital information – flexible and tailored to your needs

Our underwater inspection enables the detailed examination of structural elements such as surfaces, rake bars, and safety-relevant components. The collected data is provided in digital form and tailored to your specific requirements. If desired, our experts in the fields of environment, hydraulic engineering, mechanical engineering, and dam safety can professionally analyze and assess the results. Thanks to our modular service packages, you can flexibly choose which services you wish to use, entirely according to your needs.

«The diving robot enabled us to inspect operationally relevant parts easily and cost-effectively, which would otherwise only be accessible by draining Lake Klöntal.»

«Our short-notice inspection request to determine whether the plant was still in operational condition after commissioning was carried out quickly and efficiently. The inspection showed that all parameters necessary for operation were correct. By using the ROV, we were able to avoid complex and costly inspections by divers or draining Lake Roggiasca.»
