Underwater Pipeline & Industrial Inspection

Underwater pipeline and industrial inspection uses ROV video, sonar, and measurement payloads to document submerged lines, tanks, supports, coatings, corrosion evidence, debris, and accessible structural components.

Overview

How the service supports asset decisions

Coratia provides robotic access and data capture for industrial assets where dewatering, shutdown, confined access, or diver exposure may be costly or hazardous. The mission is designed around the asset geometry, water condition, target observations, measurement needs, and maintenance decision to be supported.

Typical applications

  • Submerged pipelines, crossings, supports, joints, and external surfaces
  • Industrial tanks, reservoirs, cooling-water systems, and channels
  • Corrosion evidence, coating damage, leakage indicators, and debris
  • Visual, sonar, and configured NDT data collection

Method

Inspection and survey workflow

  1. 01

    Technical review

    Confirm asset layout, access, fluids, isolation, hazards, and required inspection evidence.

  2. 02

    Payload selection

    Choose camera, sonar, measurement, positioning, and manipulation tools for the target.

  3. 03

    Systematic capture

    Inspect accessible surfaces and components using a defined route and reference method.

  4. 04

    Evidence package

    Organize observations and measurements for engineering and maintenance review.

Outputs

Typical deliverables

  • Pipeline or component video and imagery
  • Condition and anomaly observation register
  • Sonar or NDT outputs when part of scope
  • Coverage, constraints, and mission summary

Frequently asked questions

Can an ROV inspect inside a tank?

It may be possible when access, dimensions, fluid compatibility, tether routing, isolation, cleanliness, and safety controls are suitable for the selected system.

Can robotic inspection detect corrosion?

ROV cameras can document visible corrosion and coating damage. Quantitative assessment may require cleaning, calibrated measurement, or a suitable NDT payload and procedure.

What information is needed before an industrial inspection?

Useful inputs include drawings, dimensions, access details, fluid and visibility conditions, operating status, known hazards, target defects, and required reporting format.
