See the dam. Trust the data.

Dams, tunnels and intakes are built to last a century, and still need to be inspected to be trusted.

The challenge

Hydropower infrastructure often operates for decades in demanding environments, making structural integrity, safety and long-term reliability essential. Critical components such as dams, tunnels and underwater foundations require specialist inspection techniques, including commercial diving, ROVs and sonar technology. Our teams provide detailed condition assessments and reliable documentation in accordance with applicable industry standards and regulatory requirements, helping asset owners identify risks, plan maintenance and ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of critical hydropower assets.

What we do here

We inspect dam walls, intakes, tunnels and water conduits using commercial divers, ROVs, sonar and multibeam technology, following recognised industry standards and applicable safety requirements. Our hydrographic survey and photogrammetry capabilities enable detailed mapping of complex and hard-to-access structures, transforming survey data into accurate, georeferenced 3D models for engineering and maintenance planning. Where intervention is required, our teams deliver concrete repairs, structural rehabilitation and targeted maintenance to help extend the service life of critical hydropower infrastructure and ensure long-term operational reliability.
