Marine excavation and dredging operations are essential for maintaining shipping channels, expanding ports, and preparing coastal zones for development. But beneath the water’s surface, the unknown is a constant threat. Blockages in dredge lines, damaged float hoses, sunken debris, structural failures, and undocumented infrastructure can delay projects, damage equipment, or trigger environmental emergencies. That’s why marine construction firms and dredging contractors need tools that deliver deeper visibility, without relying on divers.
Why it matters:
• Subsurface Infrastructure: Unknown pipelines, utility lines, and/or infrastructure can accidentally be struck during dredging causing costly spills, potential injuries and/or fatalities, shutdowns, or legal consequences.
• Diver Safety & Cost: Traditional inspection methods typically require divers that can be expensive and placing contractors in unsafe environments.
• Environmental Compliance: One wrong move can lead to sediment plume violations, pipeline strikes, loss of containment, potential injuries and/or fatalities, or regulatory fines.
• Operational Downtime: Every delay caused by unknown obstructions increases costs, increases project timelines, and increases project risk.
The Genesis Technology rapidly detects a dredge operator's internal blockages and leaks in the subline network minimizing destructive access. It helps dredging and marine teams:
• Pinpoint subline network obstructions in real time
• Detect leaks in subline network
• Minimize project stoppages and equipment damage
• Enhances safe operations within environmental boundaries
The Elisha Technology enables internal visual inspection of float hoses while fully assembled and submerged. For slurry line maintenance in dredging operations, Elisha allows:
• Proactive monitoring of float hose internal wear and fatigue
• No dry-docking or disassembly
• Safer, faster inspection with less downtime
The Revelation Technology enhances marine excavation and dredging projects by delivering deep, passive, 3D subsurface maps of conductive infrastructure. Unlike sonar or magnetometers, Revelation is unaffected by metal interference from debris and maps conductive pipelines and utility lines with industry best-of-breed vertical accuracy, even in cluttered or high-risk zones. It helps marine contractors:
• Avoid strikes, loss of containment, and potential injuries and/or fatalities
• Navigate complex nearshore corridors with confidence
• Detect buried pipelines and utilities before dredging begins
• Plan safe excavation and dredging in ports, channels, and coastal zones
Together, Genesis, Elisha, and Revelation give marine contractors and dredging operators the insight they need to protect people, pipelines, utility lines, environment, and project timelines—below the surface.
