Underwater Visual Inspections
Early Issue Detection & Cost Savings
Atlantas Marine provides high-resolution underwater imaging to give you a clear, real-time assessment of your assets. Our expert team ensures early detection of damage, corrosion, and structural concerns, helping you minimise maintenance costs, prevent downtime, and extend asset lifespan.
General Visual Inspection (GVI)
Managing subsea assets requires constant vigilance to detect potential risks before they escalate into costly failures. General Visual Inspection (GVI) is a fast, non-intrusive method that provides an overall assessment of underwater structures using high-resolution cameras mounted on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This technique allows operators to monitor asset conditions in real-time, identifying early signs of corrosion, marine growth, impact damage, or structural weaknesses. GVI is ideal for routine maintenance planning, pre-inspection surveys, and general condition assessments, offering a clear visual record without the need for expensive and time-consuming interventions.
Â
- Minimises downtime – Non-intrusive inspections are carried out without halting operations.
- Cost-effective monitoring – Reduces the need for unnecessary maintenance by identifying issues early.
- Real-time insights – Provides immediate visual data to inform maintenance decisions.
- Regulatory compliance – Supports industry-standard inspections with clear, high-quality imaging.
Detailed Visual Inspection (DVI)
When a standard visual inspection is not enough, Detailed Visual Inspection (DVI) provides a closer, more precise examination of critical underwater components. Unlike GVI, which offers a broad overview, DVI focuses on specific areas that require in-depth analysis, such as weld seams, structural joints, and previously identified damage. Using advanced ROV-mounted cameras with zoom capabilities, laser scaling, and measurement tools, DVI delivers highly detailed images that allow operators to assess cracks, pitting, or other structural concerns. This level of inspection is essential for ensuring asset integrity and meeting regulatory compliance.
Â
- Pinpoints critical issues – Provides close-up analysis of potential defects before they escalate.
- High-precision imaging – Uses advanced camera systems to capture fine details and measurements.
- Supports compliance – Helps meet classification society and industry safety requirements.
- Reduces repair costs – Identifies defects early to enable targeted maintenance and prevent major failures.
Why work with us?
Expert Underwater Inspection Solutions You Can Rely On
Explore the benefits of working with Atlantas Marine for your inspection needs—leveraging advanced ROV technology, industry expertise, and comprehensive services to deliver accurate, efficient, and safe inspections for assets across various marine sectors.
Advanced ROV Technology
Atlantas Marine uses state-of-the-art ROVs equipped with high-definition cameras, advanced sonar systems, and precision manipulators to perform comprehensive underwater inspections. Our ROVs can capture real-time data with exceptional clarity, providing detailed imagery and 3D mapping, even in challenging underwater conditions.
This allows us to conduct thorough inspections of critical infrastructure, such as pipelines, offshore platforms, and subsea cables, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.
Increased Safety
By utilising ROVs for inspections, we eliminate the risks associated with using human divers in hazardous environments. Our ROVs can operate at depths and in conditions that are dangerous or inaccessible to divers, including high-pressure, low-visibility, and contaminated water environments.
This ensures that inspections are carried out safely, without compromising on quality, and reduces the risks to human life.
Comprehensive Reporting
Our inspection services come with detailed, actionable reports that provide a full overview of the findings. These reports include high-resolution images, video footage, and 3D models, as well as data from sonar systems and other sensors. With clear insights and recommendations, we help clients make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, and compliance.
The comprehensive nature of our reporting ensures that no detail is missed and that clients have all the information they need.
Expertise Across Sectors
With experience spanning multiple sectors—including oil & gas, offshore renewables, defence, marine research, and environmental monitoring—Atlantas Marine understands the unique challenges and requirements of each industry. Our expertise allows us to tailor our inspection services to meet the specific needs of your sector, ensuring that we provide relevant, industry-specific insights.
Whether it’s inspecting offshore wind turbine foundations or subsea pipelines, we deliver services that align with your operational goals.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Our ROV-based inspection services are a cost-effective alternative to traditional diver-led inspections. By using advanced technology, we reduce the need for manual intervention, lowering labor costs and minimising the risk of human error. Additionally, our efficient inspections mean faster results, saving both time and money while delivering high-quality data.
This approach is ideal for clients looking to optimise their operational budgets without compromising on the quality of their inspections.
