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 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 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
Low-impact capture of substrate, submerged vegetation and structural features. Baseline for EIA, protected areas and conservation — with minimal disturbance, 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: marine incident, 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 can expect
Every mission ends in a structured data package — scope and format are aligned in the briefing depending on the agreed project scope.
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 traceable 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.
