Use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for Underwater Inspections

Step into the Underwater World Safely with KARLAB!

Today, to explore the deepest parts of
the ocean and everything from seas to
lakes, we all need ROVs, ranging in size
from basketball-sized to vehicle-sized.

ROVs: Innovations for Companies and Industries

Extremely useful in emergency situations where time is
limited and in areas too narrow or difficult for divers to reach.

ROVs can last for years without requiring major repairs.

While divers can only stay underwater for 1 to 2 hours, the
battery life of an ROV can last up to 8 hours.

ROVs: Innovations for Companies and Industries

Video Recording Capabilities

One of the most remarkable advantages of ROVs is their ability to
record photos and videos; they provide high-resolution images.
Depending on the size of the ROV, it can maneuver in small,
hard-to-reach areas and inspect them.

Area Advantage

An ROV can maneuver in tight spaces and hard-to-reach
areas based on its size, making it ideal for detailed
inspections.

Personnel Safety

ROVs provide a safer alternative for exploring hazardous
areas for divers

WHAT IS THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE OF ALL THESE BENEFITS?

ROVs ARE
COST-EFFECTIVE

Compared to large divers, a micro-ROV is much more
cost-effective. Micro-ROVs are perfect for exploring
tight underwater spaces and collecting images or
data; they are also an affordable option.

As KARLAB, we differentiate
ourselves as “THE TRUSTED
EXPERTS” in our industries

We now bring the expertise and experience we’ve developed in the analysis sector to
ROV service operations.

At KARLAB, we now offer underwater
inspection services for ship surveys
and offshore pipeline and cable
inspections with our ROV systems,
applying our laboratory and
analytical experience.

In the dilemma of efficiency/performance, ROVs can perform
inspections quickly and offer low-cost preventative measures
compared to diver costs and potential accidents.

Ship Hull Inspections in Accordance with Classification Guidelines

  • Focus Areas:1. Depth Capacity: Diving capabilities up to 300 meters (1000 ft)2. Camera Quality and Operational Duration: 4K UHD cameras with up to 8 hours of continuous operation.

    3. Thickness Gauge Integration: Accurate measurement of steel thickness on tanks, hulls, and metal surfaces with the Cygnus Thickness Gauge.

    4. Extended Connections: Connection upgrades offering ranges of up to 1 kilometer or more, ideal for long-distance projects.

By predicting leakage and
crack issues in offshore
pipelines in advance,
companies can resolve
problems quickly, resulting
in significant gains.

Subsea infrastructure such as pipelines,
which provide millions of dollars worth of
products/services every day, can benefit from
corrosion prevention and cleaning measures,
starting from torque cleaning to preventing
corrosion signs.
