Society needs infrastructure that stands strong, whatever the conditions. However, long-term exposure to the forces of water can undermine that strength, with pressure, environmental conditions, currents, and vessel operations taking a toll. This makes efficient, effective and thorough inspections and monitoring critically important.

Kongsberg Discovery has it covered.

The advantages of innovation

Bridges are vulnerable to erosion; ports are damaged from tides, storms and docking activities; offshore structures endure tough environments; and harbours require dredging for evolving vessel and operational needs. 

The list of infrastructure and challenges is diverse, but the requirement for high quality inspection and monitoring data is universal. Engineers need ‘eyes under the water’ that excel in the constant quest to assess integrity and protect physical assets.

This is where Kongsberg Discovery leads the way. 

Our sophisticated underwater acoustic technology generates high-resolution images of marine infrastructure, with advanced software sensors correcting for factors such as water pressure, temperature and salinity. The result is crystal clear, accurate sonar images. 

In addition, Kongsberg Discovery continually innovates in sensor technology, sonar deployment, unmanned and autonomous vehicles, and image processing software to optimise efficiency, reach and resolution. 

This turns engineering challenges into competitive advantage, with faster, safer and more cost-effective surveys and inspections, defined by quality.
