Dam, Reservoir & Intake 3D Surveys — Rotterdam

Intake towers, spillway faces, and turbine trash racks sit in flow conditions that make diver inspection genuinely hazardous — intake suction and spillway discharge are exactly the environments remote survey exists for. We generate full 3D digital models of the submerged structure using ROV-based photogrammetry and sonar, giving the operator an inspection record without putting a person into the water near an active intake or spillway.

Why it matters in Rotterdam

Europe's largest port by cargo volume, with an extensive network of quay walls, sheet-pile berths, bridges, and subsea pipelines built up over more than a century of expansion.

The sheer scale and age of Rotterdam's submerged infrastructure — quay walls, bridge substructures, pipeline routes — makes ongoing 3D condition survey a genuine, standing requirement rather than a novelty.

Deliverable

A 3D model of the submerged intake, spillway, or trash rack structure, captured without diver exposure to hazardous flow.
