Frequently asked questions

What are Level I and Level II inspections?

Level I is a general visual inspection (GVI) without surface cleaning, to assess the overall condition of the structure. Level II is a detailed close visual inspection of selected areas, with local cleaning, to evaluate corrosion, cracks or biofouling.

What structures can you inspect?

Jackets, conductors and anodes, subsea wellheads, pipelines and flowlines, mooring systems and berthing structures such as piled jetties. We also provide diving support and monitoring.

When is the Optimus mini-ROV a better fit than the Leopard?

In shallow water, confined spaces or close to structures: the SRV-8X Optimus deploys fast with a minimal footprint. The Leopard steps in when work-class capability or greater depth is required.
