Sectors — ScanSustain in the field
Five sectors, one shared standard: audit-grade underwater diagnostics with a reproducible process. Each sector has its own detail page with typical problem contexts, matching services and concrete deliverable formats.
Each sector brings its own requirements — asset types, reporting formats, inspection cycles and regulatory context. The sector paths below lead directly to the relevant service bundle and to practice-near scenario examples.
Problem and solution logic per sector
The short description per sector — so you can see in one minute which sector page fits your project.
Ports & Marine Construction
Problem: Ageing quay walls, dolphins and sheet piles that must be documented during ongoing harbour operations, without interrupting shipping or handling.
Solution: ROV inspection with position-referenced findings capture, combinable with sonar in turbid water and with survey for 3D as-built books. For recurring inspections as a monitoring programme.
Typical deliverables: Structured findings report, damage classification, reproducibility memo for follow-up inspections.

Authorities & Municipalities
Problem: Routine structural inspection underwater must be administration-ready and comparable across years — the underwater section is historically the weakest part of the inspection file.
Solution: ROV inspection according to agreed protocol, converted into a monitoring programme. Format and structure are clarified in advance with the reviewing body.
Typical deliverables: Inspection-guideline compliant report, time-series reference, action recommendations for maintenance or restoration.

Industry & Energy
Problem: Cooling water, process water and treatment basins are typically turbid — and a plant shutdown for diver inspection is often economically impossible.
Solution: Combined ROV and sonar mission during ongoing operations. Sonar delivers geometry where visibility is missing, the ROV camera verifies candidate points. Results fit into existing maintenance systems.
Typical deliverables: Findings report with plant coordinates, compliance evidence, baseline for annual monitoring.

Environment & Conservation
Problem: EIA procedures, protected-area assessments and restoration projects need a baseline captured reproducibly and non-invasively — diver interventions disturb the observed object.
Solution: Habitat mapping with ROV and sonar, classified by substrate, vegetation and structural features. Logged so that follow-up surveys can use the same route.
Typical deliverables: Georeferenced habitat dataset, classified technical report, reproducibility memo.

Insurance & Expert Witness
Problem: After a damage event the position, state and surroundings must be fixed audit-grade before recovery or repair. Verbal diver protocols are not sufficient.
Solution: Search & recovery mission with documented search strategy, localisation and evidence preservation. Unaltered raw data remains court-usable.
Typical deliverables: Search protocol with coverage record, find report, evidence data package.
