Underwater Dam & Bridge Inspection Solutions

Advanced underwater robotic inspection using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) — visual inspection of submerged structures and difficult-to-access areas without draining, diving or downtime.

1. Underwater Dam Inspection

  • Inspection of submerged dam surfaces and concrete structures
  • Spillways, stilling basins and energy dissipation structures
  • Intake structures, outlet works and submerged gates (where accessible)
  • Visual assessment of concrete deterioration, cracks, spalling & exposed reinforcement
  • Identification of visible seepage indications, erosion and sediment accumulation
  • Underwater video recording, photographic documentation and inspection reporting

2. Underwater Bridge Inspection

  • Submerged bridge piers, foundations and pile structures
  • Visual assessment of scour around bridge foundations
  • Underwater concrete surfaces — cracks, erosion, spalling and visible defects
  • Submerged structural components and foundations (where accessible)
  • Documentation of sediment accumulation and foundation exposure
  • Video records, photo evidence and reports supporting maintenance planning

3. Technology & Methodology

  • Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for underwater visual inspection
  • Underwater cameras and lighting systems
  • Video recording and photographic documentation
  • Access to submerged and difficult-to-reach structural components
  • Defect documentation and condition-assessment reporting
  • Engineering review and recommendations based on scope and findings

🏞 Why it matters

Divers cost ₹2–5 lakh per inspection day and carry life risk. ROVs inspect the same surface for a fraction of the cost, in zero risk, with centimetre-positioned footage you can replay in review meetings years later. Ideal for dam safety reviews, post-flood assessments and bridge condition audits for irrigation departments, PWD and NHAI projects.

Reservoir full? Inspection season open.

Share the structure drawings and inspection scope — we'll plan the ROV deployment window and deliverable format with Planys.
