Hull thickness measurement with ultrasound, ROV-supported water sampling, and underwater corrosion assessment. Ocean Discovery combines measurable structural data and environmental data to assess both the hull or structure condition and the surrounding water environment — at environmentally hazardous wrecks, harbour infrastructure, and hull checks without drydocking.
Water samples and environmental data
A multiparameter probe can collect oxygen, pH, salinity, turbidity, and temperature data during the mission. The probe can be mounted on the ROV or placed on the seabed for longer measurement series, providing data for environmental assessment and corrosion analysis.
Ultrasound thickness measurement
ROV-mounted ultrasound equipment makes it possible to measure hulls, sheet piling, and steel structures without drydocking or dewatering. The probe is pressed against the surface and readings are transmitted to the operator in real time, including on heavily corroded metal.
Reporting and application
Results are compiled as positioned readings, sample data, photo documentation, and a clear condition summary. The documentation supports maintenance planning, risk assessment, environmental follow-up, and decisions on further technical action.
