Professional ROV Pipeline Inspection Services
Ensure the safety, integrity, and reliability of your underwater pipelines with advanced ROV pipeline inspection services. Our remotely operated vehicles provide precise monitoring and detailed assessments, identifying leaks, corrosion, coating damage, and structural issues before they cause environmental incidents or operational failures. Fast, reliable, and cost-effective, we deliver pipeline inspection solutions that prevent costly downtime and ensure continuous operations.
Introduction to ROV Pipeline Inspections
ROV pipeline inspection uses remotely operated vehicles to assess underwater pipelines, subsea pipelines, and buried pipelines without the need for costly shutdowns or risky diver interventions. These inspections are vital for oil and gas facilities, water utilities, wastewater systems, and industrial operations where pipeline integrity and environmental protection are critical.
By using advanced ROVs equipped with HD cameras, sonar systems, and specialized sensors, we deliver high-quality data on pipeline condition while maintaining operational continuity. Our underwater pipeline inspection services are non-intrusive, safe, and highly efficient, ensuring your pipeline systems stay compliant, cost-effective, and environmentally secure.

Leading ROV Inspection Company
Frogmen Technologies is recognized as one of the top ROV pipeline inspection companies in the UAE, delivering advanced subsea pipeline inspection services across oil and gas, water utilities, and industrial facilities. Our pipeline inspection solutions use both observation class ROVs and inspection class ROVs to capture high-definition visuals, sonar scans, and integrity data in real time.
Our ROVs provide precise monitoring of underwater pipelines, subsea pipelines, and buried pipelines, identifying leaks, corrosion, coating damage, blockages, and structural issues early before they cause environmental incidents or operational failures. This prevents costly downtime, environmental damage, and ensures safe, continuous operations.
By combining state-of-the-art subsea ROV technology with pipeline integrity expertise, we help clients detect external corrosion, coating breakdown, mechanical damage, free spans, scour, marine growth, and leak detection that compromise pipeline integrity. Whether it’s a routine integrity survey, emergency damage assessment, or regulatory compliance inspection, our ROVs are designed to perform in environments that are too dangerous or inaccessible for divers.
Comprehensive Pipeline Inspection Capabilities
External Visual Inspection
Our ROVs conduct systematic visual surveys of pipeline exteriors, documenting coating condition, corrosion, mechanical damage, marine growth, and structural integrity. HD cameras capture detailed imagery of pipe surfaces, joints, supports, and fittings. Video footage provides permanent records for integrity management, regulatory compliance, and maintenance planning.
Pipeline Route Survey
Using side-scan sonar and multi-beam sonar, we map entire pipeline routes, documenting as-built positions, changes from design alignment, and environmental conditions. Route surveys identify encroachment by other infrastructure, proximity to hazards, and changes requiring investigation.
Free Span Detection & Measurement
Free spans occur when pipelines become unsupported due to seabed erosion or scour. Our ROVs detect and measure free span lengths, heights, and shoulder conditions. Profiling sonar creates precise measurements for engineering analysis determining if spans exceed allowable limits requiring remediation.
Burial & Scour Assessment
Pipelines designed for burial require verification of burial depth and detection of scour exposing previously buried sections. Our sonar systems measure burial depth, identify exposed sections, and assess
Leak Detection Surveys
Early leak detection prevents environmental damage and product loss. Our ROVs equipped with water quality sensors detect hydrocarbon presence, chemical contamination, or unusual conditions indicating pipeline leaks. Visual inspection identifies bubble streams, discolored water, or sediment disturbance from leaking fluids.
Emergency Damage Assessment
Following anchor drags, vessel impacts, storms, or operational incidents, rapid damage assessment is critical. Our emergency response teams deploy ROVs within 24-48 hours to assess pipeline damage, identify immediate risks, and provide data supporting emergency response decisions.
