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 case studies from practice.
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.
