Service spectrum
The ScanSustain Spectrum
Six service areas — three primary services for the most frequent applications, three special services for particular requirements. Every area follows the same reproducible ScanSustain process and ends in the same audit-grade data package.
Bookable individually or as an integrated mission. Which combination fits depends on asset, visibility, inspection cycle and reporting requirement — that's what we clarify in the briefing.
Primary services
Three modules that play a role in nearly every mission — individually or combined.
Primary · Inspection
Structured visual inspection of quay walls, bridge piers, basins and pipelines — with HD camera, documented routing and position-referenced findings capture. Reduces or replaces conventional diving.
Triggers: structural inspection, damage capture, pre-rehabilitation recce.
Details →
Primary · Sensing
Acoustic capture in turbid water. Multibeam, side-scan and profile sonar — where optical methods reach their limits. Provides geometric reference when vision is missing, combinable with video and survey data.
Triggers: turbid water, dark basins, search strategies, geometric verification.
Details →
Primary · Geometry
Bathymetry, depth profiles, layout plans and 3D reference models — the basis for planning, maintenance, rehabilitation and assessment. Handover in archive-ready formats that flow directly into the engineering office.
Triggers: rehabilitation preparation, inventory survey, handover documentation.
Details →
Special & programme services
Three modules for particular requirements: programmatic monitoring, environmental context and forensic search missions.
Programme · Time series
Programmatic condition monitoring with identical routing. Every deployment produces a comparable data point in the same time series — foundation for compliance cycles, maintenance planning and long-term assessment.
Triggers: inspection guidelines, maintenance obligations, asset management.
Details →
Special · Environment
Non-invasive capture of substrate, submerged vegetation and structural features. Baseline for EIA, protected areas and conservation — without intervention, with reproducible routes for follow-up surveys.
Triggers: EIA obligation, protected-area baseline, WFD/Habitats monitoring.
Details →
Special · Forensic
Grid-based underwater search missions with evidence preservation — for insurers, expert witnesses and emergency organisations. Documented coverage proof and a complete chain of evidence for every finding.
Triggers: casualty, loss event, evidence preservation, expert report basis.

Route by sector
You know which sector you operate in — we've prepared the right service combination per sector:
What you receive in every case
Every mission ends in the same structured data package — scope and format are agreed in the briefing.
Sorted raw data
Video, photos, sonar — chronologically ordered, with timestamp and position reference. Directly archive-ready.
Findings report
Structured summary with image references, damage classification and authority-ready format.
Reproducibility memo
Route and method protocol so follow-up inspections reproduce the same path years later.

Frequently asked questions
What data do I receive after an inspection?
Depending on the agreement: video, photos, sonar data and structured documentation with annotated findings. The five process steps define what is delivered and when.
Can an ROV inspection replace divers?
In many cases, yes — for pure condition capture and documentation. Read the detailed method comparison →
How quickly are results available?
Raw data is available immediately after the mission. Processed documentation follows within a few working days.
Which modules can I combine?
All modules are bookable individually or in combination. Typical packages: ROV inspection + findings report, or recurring inspection + sonar for turbid-water monitoring.
Are the results suitable for authority use?
Yes. Documentation follows recognised standards and is directly usable by authorities, engineering firms and experts — particularly relevant for municipal and federal clients.
