Inspection & Asset Integrity
Dam & spillway inspection
Drones and ROVs inspecting dam faces, spillways and intakes.
People ask for this as: “dam inspection drone”, “spillway inspection”
How it works
Robots used
- Drone
- ROV
Ways to buy it
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Robotic inspection can avoid shutdowns or confined-space entry — ask what it saves you.
- Specify the reporting standard your insurer or regulator accepts.
- Ask whether data is reviewed by a certified inspector.

What to specify and ask
Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":
- Asset type and dimensions
- Location and access
- Inspection standard required (e.g., API, ASME)
- Deliverables (video, thickness data, report)
- Confined space / hazardous area classification
- Shutdown window
- Urgency
Rules and regulation
Confined-space and hazardous-area rules (OSHA 1910.146, ATEX/IECEx) may apply; inspections for compliance often require certified inspectors (API, NACE/AMPP, ASNT) to sign off.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
