Inspection Diving and Non Destructive Testing
Let us setup a plan that works for you.
- Inspection diving can be done using commercial diving gear allowing us to build comprehensive reports in real time. Being a full service marine construction company allows us the ability to repair stuff as we inspect it.
- Let us protect your underwater assets with our inspection, maintenance, and repair(IMR) program. This ensures that your structures are tracked throughout their life, ensuring their longevity is maximized to their full potential.
- We have the full capability's to do full visual inspections in any marine condition. Using the newest 1080p cameras, we can document your marine assets over their lifetime. This in turn creates a reference point for every inspection, which keeps you knowledgeable of the latest status of your underwater assets.
- Our non-destructive inspection techniques let you see just how degredated your marine asset really is.
- Water/material samples via ROV (remotely operated vehicle) or Diver giving you a clear and concise sample that is untainted.
- On-board side scan sonar and GPS surveying lets us see the bottom in real time, helping us map out underwater assets.
- With 3.2u divers on staff, we can inspect to the highest inspection standard in the world (IMCA CSWIP). Years of experience in inspection has honed our skills in this field, letting us have the most robust Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) Program in Western Canada.
- Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) crack testing involves determining the extent of a crack in ferrous metals, which may not be visible to the eye. When the extremities of the crack are located, often stop drilling technique is required or other supplementary preventative measures.
- Ultrasonic Thickness measuring is performed to determine the current state of the structure when compared to its original design, whether for class or intermediate survey of submerged objects.
- Pipe penetrations can be done to remove blockages with our ROV (remotely operated vehicle) or Divers. Pipe penetration inspections can be done to give a perspective of wear from the inside, giving a baseline on the remaining lifespan.
- Our pipe crawling robot can give video inspections of pipes and culverts from 8"-36" in diameter. Able to be submerged to 165' deep and up to 1000' into a pipeline. This is a great option for inspecting potable water piping before upgrading systems as we can have a diver install it into the pipe and actively tend it from in the water.
- Canadian Marine Contractors can assist you with your next pipeline locate in the water.

Remote Operated Vehicles(ROV)
A Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is a mobile underwater vehicle equipped with various electronic survey systems to assist in inspections. These vehicles can be fitted with HD video systems and sonar imaging equipment, enabling efficient navigation and the collection of valuable data. ROVs are particularly suited for scour inspections, exploration of confined spaces, deep-water surveys, or deployment in hazardous conditions unsuitable for diver entry. Utilizing an ROV system can significantly reduce inspection costs while mitigating the risks associated with employing divers for such tasks. Additionally, ROVs can complement diver operations, enhancing efficiency underwater, or providing supervisors with a clearer perspective on the task at hand.
Observation Class ROV
Canadian Marine Contractors DTG3 Expert remotely operated vehicle is rated to 656ft of depth and offers a 2000M long tether, grabber to retrieve objects or manipulate tools, extra lighting and a laser scaler for estimating object sizes. With the added manipulator arm, advanced sensor technology, and laser scaler, this ROV is truly prepared to tackle your underwater project.
Our DTG3 is prepared for any scenario that your project may throw at us with the Manipulator Bundle for the ROV’s Two Function Grabber. This includes interchangeable measuring and sampling tools and manipulators for different sizes and shapes of objects such as:
- Interlocking Jaws
- Tri-Jaw
- Calipers
- Sediment Samplers
- Water Samplers
Working Class ROV
Our Chinook is an industrial grade inspection ROV with a wide range of capabilities, It can work in depths up to 300 m (1,000′).
A true workhorse, the Chinook offers a stable platform yet remains compact. With its small profile, the Chinook can operate in tight places .
For greater versatility, we can customize our Chinook by adding accessories such as extra thrusters, navigational searching aids, manipulators, tool skids and more to meet any clients needs.
Pipe Crawler Robot
Along with our ROV services, Canadian Marine Contractors also provides a wide range of robotic CCTV crawlers for the inspection any pipe size up to 700m long and rated for a depth of 165’. This allows us to do interior inspections of outfall pipes to depth. From storm water sewers, sewage pipes, potable water systems, contaminated and hazardous environments, Canadian Marine Contractors has you covered.
