Inshore

Municipal water supplies and hydro electric dams are key target users of ROVs which are ideal for the detailed inspection of inshore water reservoirs and tanks and lakes and rivers. Work can also extend to surveys of bridge foundations.

Seamor Marine has a range of ROV models ideally suited to such work on lakes and rivers where small, rugged and versatile equipment is needed.

Inshore use of ROVs often reduces the need for divers to do visual inspections or in many cases ROVs make it easier for them to pinpoint work that needs to be done. When coupled with sonar, which allows precise navigation in murky waters and sharper profile images, the ROVs can perform a number of tasks to ensure the safety, purity and security of water supplies. This can also extend to pipelines, often up to 10 feet in diameter, where ROVs, sometimes using extended tethers can perform inspection work easily and with clarity at pressure depths that are hazardous for divers.

Seamor ROVs have proven invaluable in a wide variety of inshore uses, such as detecting pipeline defects, foreign objects in the system, pipeline collapses, and sediment build up, which could contaminate water supplies. The use of ROVs can increase safety and inspection quality, cut plant downtime, and also reduce costs.
