The inspection of subsea infrastructure often involves rope access technicians and specialty-trained divers to collect information on the integrity and potential issues found. In these circumstances, given all the costs and energy required, collecting the most accurate and reliable data is paramount. Hence, Eddyfi Technologies offers the most advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions –often tailored to the needs of the industry– with ACFM® being the most prominent example. In some cases, an alternative to rope access work or diver-deployed inspection is available. Technological advances are demonstrating how using an amphibious robot can save time, money, and most importantly, human risk factors in hostile marine environments.
