ROV Services

With a team of qualified inspectors, ROV operators and modern fleet, we offer technical support and assistance for a wide variety of inspections, from a simple hull observation to complete annual or mid-term surveys (for UWILD).

Underwater Visual Inspection

Underwater visual inspection is a subjective technique, performed with the use of sight, used to detect visible discontinuities and project nonconformities. The basic need for visual inspection is to ensure that a facility or equipment can perform its functions correctly and safely. To that end, it is necessary to inspect all its components and accessories on a regular basis. It is widely used in certification processes for offshore platforms, providing support to Classification Societies, as well as in the inspection of offshore oil and gas exploration, production, and offloading systems. At Continental, this testing method is performed using modern ROV systems: Outland 2000, Falcon, Tiger and Lynx.

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement

The ultrasonic test is based on the sound waves reflection when they hit the separation surface of two media with different acoustic properties (acoustic impedance, density, sound speed, etc.). The ultrasonic waves are used with the objective of measuring the effects of corrosion and/or erosion on a metallic surface, also verifying the structure conditions in relation to the project.

Cleaning of Sea Chests

Sea chest is an opening on the hull of maritime units for the supply of sea water to cool engines, feed the firefighting system, and to discharge water from various systems. Its proper functioning is therefore essential for the routine tasks and safety of the unit.
