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

ROV 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.

Primary · Sensing

Sonar & scanning

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.

Primary · Geometry

Survey & mapping

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

Monitoring & recurring inspection

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

Habitat mapping

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

Search & recovery

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.
