Hydraulic Structure Applications

CHARPIE Underwater ROV · Hydraulic Structure Inspection and Maintenance Guide

This section covers hydraulic structures such as dams, sluices, pump stations, dikes, aqueducts, culverts and power stations, offering full-process guidance for underwater structure inspection, defect detection, safety assessment and maintenance operations.

Underwater Bridge Pier Pile Inspection

Underwater ROVs can observe and diagnose the underwater part of the bridge piles from a close distance, such as: cracks, exposed tendons, shedding and other damages. Equipped with a imaging sonar, it can also observe the pile foundation or even map the riverbed.

Hydro-dams Inspections

Underwater ROVs regularly inspect reservoir dams, barrages, inlets and outlets, gates, and other water facilities under full water conditions, which has become an important and effective measure for disaster prevention and mitigation. A ROV mounted with sonars can map and calculate the reservoir capacity.

Deep-sea Aquaculture Caging Inspections

For Aquaculture ROV Inspection, the entire process of net cage aquaculture for salmon and other high-value fish species can be supported by ROVs for cage inspection, fish monitoring, and dead fish removal, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring fish safety throughout the operation.

Industrial Water Tanks Inspections

Regular inspections of the production water system are an important safeguard for production safety, preventing accidents before they occur. How to complete the inspection of large production tanks with water without stopping production? Portable underwater ROV provides the perfect solution: with their small size, they can easily enter the tank inlet and carry out fixed-depth inspections. Even at the water inlet and outlet, it can resist a certain amount of water flow, for the tank to complete a comprehensive physical examination without dead ends. There is no need for personnel to go into the water.
