NWE delivers ROV-assisted underwater inspection to safely assess subsea structures and assets without the cost and risk of manned diving. Using high-definition video, stills, and sonar where required, our teams perform GVI/CVI of pipelines, risers, jackets, jetties, hulls, moorings, and intake/outfall systems—capturing coating condition, marine growth, anodes, scour, and weld details. We can witness CP readings, verify markings, and document integrity anomalies in confined or high-energy environments. Clear, time-stamped media and structured defect logs support decision-making, minimize downtime, and keep assets compliant with project specifications and applicable industry requirements.
Our AI-assisted inspection workflow converts underwater and confined-space imagery into objective coating condition grades and durability maps. Using vision-based models, we detect corrosion, cracking, and other coating defects in compliance with ISO 4628 and ISO 12944 standards—enabling data-driven maintenance decisions and cost-effective repainting during planned shutdowns.
Inspecting offshore rigs, pipelines, and underwater infrastructure for corrosion, damage, and wear. They are used for regular maintenance checks and post-event inspections (e.g., after storms).
Hull inspections of ships and submarines, checking for biofouling, cracks, and structural integrity.
Inspecting underwater components of bridges, dams, and ports for structural integrity and safety.
