Floating ROV Video Inspection: Safe Diagnosis for Drain Canals, Irrigation Ditches, and Large Pipelines
Cleaning buried canals, irrigation ditches, and large pipes is a necessary activity to ensure their long-term efficiency. Before proceeding with complex operations such as deep cleaning, it is essential to have a precise understanding of the current condition of the submerged structure.
Franchini Servizi Ecologici offers a remote inspection service with a floating ROV. This solution allows us to work with a floating instrument. Thanks to its propellers, inspections can be carried out under conditions of a constant presence of a certain water level, acquiring all the information necessary to assess whether and how to plan subsequent interventions. The Floating ROV, to function, requires a water head of at least 30 cm.
FAQ
It is an inspection technique that uses a floating ROV equipped with a camera to analyze culverts, irrigation ditches and pipelines in the presence of water, without the need for draining.
It is used when pipelines are fully or partially filled with water and dry inspections or invasive preliminary works are not possible.
No, the floating ROV is designed to operate directly in water, provided there is a minimum water level that allows it to float.
High-definition images and videos are obtained, useful for identifying blockages, collapses or structural anomalies.
It enables fast and safe inspections without invasive interventions, reducing time, costs and operational complexity.
Yes, it is ideal for planning targeted maintenance based on real data about infrastructure conditions.
