CSU: STANDING OUT WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART UNDERWATER PIPELINE SURVEY TECHNOLOGIES

Central States Underwater specializes in underwater pipeline installation and survey in all marine/inland environments. We are a trusted name in the industry for our services include pipeline construction, pre-installation surveys, testing, sub-bottom profiling, marine HDPE pipe installations, underwater pipeline survey, etc. CSU as well specializes in underwater pipeline inspections and repairs. Our extensively trained and experienced team of engineers starts by providing you pre-project data and requirement that you will need to meet. From performing lake-bottom profiling to soil sampling, our team works and winds up together with the operators.

Underwater pipeline inspections and Bathymetric surveys

CSU’s Bathymetric surveys provide you with detailed, comprehensive data on each object underwater. Using the most advanced and sophisticated technologies, we provide you with comprehensive report, acoustic images and 3-dimensional models that leave nothing to the imagination. CSU takes pride in being a resource to oil & gas companies, engineering firms, barge terminal operators and the like.

We have a batch of commercially certified, experienced divers with far-reaching knowledge essential to bring about an efficient underwater pipeline survey. We have grown familiarized with underwater construction techniques and we are well-versed with modern tools and mechanism.

Hydrophobic surveys

CSU utilizes the most advanced multi-beam systems blended with RTK-GPS to shape the complete area around the submerged structures. This gives a detailed picture, delineating the areas of sediment, slope conditions, scour and debris build-up. The data gathered is then used to form a 3-dimensional model, which can be further used for scour calculations as well as visual inspections.

ROV surveys

We have Remotely Operated Vessels that are used to collect data when conditions below the waterline are indefinite or hard to access. These survey vessels are outfitted with high-definition video cameras plus sonar systems as they navigate and gather valuable data.

Acoustic imaging

Underwater visibility is usually limited, especially when tides are too high to use divers safely. Sector scans a.k.a. acoustic imaging are used then. This is a technology combined with acoustics to shape up an image of the abutment or the pier to identify structural scour issues. Usually, these images are combined with CAD drawings to build a pictographic reference of the entire pipeline structure.

Central States Underwater, this is how, makes a great choice if you’re considering a comprehensive and effective underwater pipeline survey service. Having served and improved at the same time, we are today standing out with the largest base of happy and satisfied customers.
