Revolutionising Commercial Diving

Boxfish ROVs are versatile tools that can perform a variety of tasks in commercial diving, making operations safer and more efficient.

Here are some key tasks that Boxfish ROVs can accomplish:

  • Health and Safety Assessments: The ROVs are commonly used to survey underwater environments before divers are deployed, ensuring the conditions are safe and secure for human divers.
  • High-Quality Visual Inspections: Using high resolution 4K imagery and photogrammetry to provide comprehensive visual data and digital models of underwater infrastructure. Equipped with a multibeam sonar, the ROV can navigate through murky, dark, or sediment-filled waters, effectively reducing blind spots and helping with the object detection.
  • Infrastructure Condition Assessment: Evaluating the condition of underwater assets, detecting critical issues such as high sediment levels or structural problems that require urgent attention.
  • Reservoir Inspections: Performing inspections of reservoirs, including those for drinking and potable water, ensuring sanitised conditions and assessing the internal state of reservoirs.
  • Salvage Operations: The ROV’s grabber allows for the manipulation of underwater objects and the retrieval of salvageable materials.

The Boxfish Alpha combines portability, reliability, and high-performance imaging to support a wide range of underwater inspection and intervention tasks.
