Go Back > Internal and External Joint and Support Inspection
of Ocean Outfall
In this project, we used a powerful, 1,500-pound light work class ROV in the strong currents at the deep end of an ocean outfall over the edge of the continental shelf to inspect all supports, external joint conditions, and diffuser conditions. Then divers opened access manways to insert a smaller ROV for an internal inspection of the pipe joints, diffusers, and ball joints.
