Selecting an ideal Industrial Diving Contractor can be a difficult undertaking at times. Commercial diving is tightly controlled, with regulations spanning numerous jurisdictions, including Canadian legislation, international guideline documents, and manufacturer recommendations. Simply comprehending what is required for a specific work can necessitate a large amount of specialised knowledge. The primary concern when choosing a Industrial Diving Contractor should be …
What Is Commercial Diving?
WHAT IS COMMERCIAL DIVING The commercial diving industry plays a large role in ocean exploration, infrastructure, aquaculture, military and salvage operations. Anytime something leaks, crashes, sinks or catches fire in the marine world, commercial salvage crews are called to solve the problem. Without diving operations, underwater incidents can have seriously detrimental impacts to surrounding ecosystems and human health. Despite the …
Hydroelectric Inspection with ROVs
WHAT IS A HYDROELECTRIC PLANT? Hydroelectric plants are typically owned by Governments or large private corporations and tasked with converting kinetic energy from falling water into electricity to power our homes and cities. As the world’s most widely used method of sustainable energy, hydropower accounts for 17% of global electricity generation. With approximately two-thirds of the economically feasible potential remaining …
ROV Pipeline Inspections
An offshore building intended for the production and processing of natural gas or oil is referred to as a “oil rig” or “oil platform.” These structures function almost exactly like an oil drill on land, but offshore platforms need extra elements to work at sea. These consist of heliports for on-site transportation, crew housing, and cranes for equipment transfer to and from workboats. ROV Pipeline Inspections To locate oil and gas resources, a 3D seismic survey is the first step in the process. Once discovered, wells are dug thousands of metres deep for collection, and pipelines are put in place to transport the recovered gas and oil to processing plants. Fixed Platforms Ideal for shallow depths, fixed platforms are directly attached to the sea floor. A steel leg design typically is attached to the sea bed via piles or footings, however it is also possible for concrete legs to rely on their weight alone for stability. Fixed platforms are generally chosen for long-term projects where it …
Water Storage Tank Cleaning
There are numerous various techniques of water storage, depending on the intended end use, such as drinking supply, irrigation, agriculture, industrial, fire prevention, etc. Each water storage tank is susceptible to worries about contamination and deterioration over time, regardless of these various designs. To counter this, careful inspection and cleaning procedures carried out by trained personnel, certified divers, or robotic …
Underwater Dive Inspection
The client hired Ven-Tech Subsea to clean and remove debris from several pump wells at their facility as well as to undertake an underwater dive inspection. The goal of the underwater inspection was to evaluate the pump wells’ condition and establish the need for cleaning. Ven-Tech Subsea supplied a four-man commercially licenced dive crew with supervision for the underwater examination …
Outfall Inspections
The engineers, technicians, and pilots of Ven-Tech Subsea’s ROV team have examined outfall inspections domestically over the last decade. It’s crucial to have adaptable equipment when working in low-light outfall inspection conditions so that it can handle any difficulties. Utilizing our internal underwater robotic facilities and manufacturing shops, our carefully trained and experienced crew customises and tests new ideas. Visionary solutions development and delivery have always been a source of great passion for Ven-Tech Subsea. In order to fix a leak in the Deep Sea Outfall, which is situated in Newfoundland, Ven-Tech Subsea worked on devising and implementing an efficient repair technique in 2020. The site’s environment offered difficulties, such as diving inside the ocean outfall and accurately operating a ROV from a working vessel in waves as high as seven feet. As a result, not only was a new grout mixture created specifically for deep water pipe leak repairs, but also a new application technique for internally fixing deep water pipe breaches that are not dewatered and a visual imaging system to track the repair’s progress. Ven-Tech Subsea collaborates with its clients to manage their systems in a cost- and efficiency-conscious way. During an underwater condition evaluation, our fleet of programmable ROVs equipped with 2D and 3D sonar and high-resolution video may find any irregularities. For our clients, spotting potential issues before they happen is crucial. If there are any problems with conducting a thorough tunnel or pipeline examination, Ven-Tech Subsea is ready to help. This includes gathering data to help with future maintenance programmes and documenting tunnel conditions for regulatory agencies. Data collection can be done with little to no outage needs thanks to remote intervention techniques. For more than 10 years, Ven-Tech Subsea has offered inspection, maintenance, and repair services to clients in the commercial, industrial, and municipal sectors as well as the oil and gas industry.

Underwater ROV Inspections
Our ROV technicians encounter many environmental difficulties during their Underwater ROV Inspections during winter. Unexpected weather changes, frigid temperatures, and less-than-ideal environments can cause delays or have an effect on a team’s health and safety during Underwater ROV Inspections. The success of a Underwater ROV Inspections as well as the safety of our field workers depend on careful project preparation. So how do you cross a frozen lake securely to get to an intake? or use wet equipment in temperatures below zero? You sometimes can’t just release a ROV from a typical launch point when you need to get to a specific spot that is surrounded by winter construction or other barriers. Last winter, one of our ROV teams faced a difficult task: getting to an intake that was only a few feet below the frozen lake’s surface. The frozen water above the intake made it impossible to access the area as well. The answer to this problem was to cross the frozen lake in a helicopter to get to the destination. The client entered the location and forced compressed air through the tunnel. This approach helped staff members find the input while also breaking up the internal ice. The ROV Team and their equipment were delivered to the location by helicopter.A variety of sensors that are capable of 3D modelling, HD video, video stills, photogrammetry, and sound imaging can be added to Ven-Tech Subsea’s remotely operated vehicles. Our fleet actually contains ROVs with a …
Remote Inspection Services
At Ven-Tech Subsea, we take pleasure in disseminating news about emerging technologies and images, especially Remote Inspection Services. This includes showing our fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for Remote Inspection Services, particularly when they are in use doing remote inspections in the real world. In addition to being fun and interesting, ROVs are a crucial tool for deploying the technology we employ to collect data. A condition evaluation is only as good as the information it includes when it comes to finishing an inspection of your underwater assets. Both the technique for gathering data and the platform for deploying it are covered by remote inspection technology. Remote Inspection Technology Ven-Tech Subsea employs ROVs that may be customised and have different penetration distances, some of which are small enough to fit through a typical manhole access (about the size of carry-on luggage). Large ROVs can tether travel far distances, all the while transmitting …
Effective underwater maintenance and repair plan depends on accurate data
We frequently hear the phrase “ageing infrastructure” these days. Our infrastructure is under strain from a number of factors, including climate change, rising urbanisation, and environmental dangers like 100-year weather events, which have a 1% chance of occurring. In order to monitor and maintain the structural integrity of underwater infrastructure including dams, tunnels and pipelines, intakes and outfalls, piers, and …
