Infrastructure
Monitoring and maintaining your submerged infrastructure has never been easier.
Why Deep Trekker ROVs in Infrastructure
Routine inspections are the key to the long-term care and success of any infrastructure. With underwater infrastructure, routine inspections were historically arduous and difficult, and often dangerous. The importance of these inspections grows for the long-term health of the structure, due to the effect that water has on construction materials. Divers are placed in dangerous scenarios for a task that is taken for granted above the sea.
ROVs From Deep Trekker, Inc. Make Infrastructure Inspections Easier – and Safer
Deep Trekker’s mini ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) protect divers from these situations and makes routine inspections possible. Deep Trekker DTG2 and DTX2 ROVs are submersible robots equipped with state-of-the art HD cameras that provide clear images to a handheld controller. The operator can use the controller to navigate the ROV through the underwater infrastructure with ease.
The Deep Trekker DT340 Pipe Crawler product line is specifically designed to perform infrastructure inspections of pipeline systems. The pipe crawler is submersible up to 50 meters (164 ft), making it ideal for a variety of municipal inspection such as storm and sanitary systems. The system builds on the same principles of the Deep Trekker ROVs, but specifically configured to crawl through pipelines with a live video feed of the pipe’s integrity.
Who Can Benefit From Using Our Underwater Monitoring and Inspection Equipment?
Our underwater infrastructure inspection ROVs and pipe crawlers are widely used by municipalities, water treatment facilities, and private contractors. They provide a cost-effective alternative to hiring professional divers — and in the case of our pipe crawling equipment, they can reach places that are inaccessible to human inspection. A Deep Trekker product can perform fast, efficient underwater infrastructure inspections of everything from culverts and storm pipes to potable water tanks, sanitation pipes, and much more.
An ROV Can Assist in Underwater Infrastructure Maintenance and Repair Tasks
The time will come when something needs to be repaired, and Deep Trekker ROVs offer a variety of attachments, including a cutter, two-function grabber, and laser scaler that can assess a maintenance or repair job and sometimes complete it without the need for the dive team. The Deep Trekker ROV is a valuable addition to the engineers’ and technologists’ toolbox for maintaining and repairing potable water tanks, bridges, dams and dykes, subsea cabling and more.
Deep Trekker Products Provide a Portable, Easy-to-Use Infrastructure Inspection Solutions
Our infrastructure ROVs and pipe crawlers do not require an external power source such as a generator or topside box. They’re equipped with powerful internal batteries specifically designed to provide the extended operated life required for lengthy infrastructure inspection, maintenance, and repair jobs. The handheld controller allows the operator to maneuver the inspection vehicle without having to enter the water. The controller is also easy to use and does not require an extensive training period.
Traditional pipe crawler systems require a dedicated service truck to complete inspections. The Deep Trekker DT340 pipe crawler line comes complete in two carrying cases and can be deployed in less than 5 minutes. This unique design is ideal for emergency inspections or inspections in remote or confined spaces.
Get a Commercial Grade Product That’s Built to Last
The heavy demands of the underwater infrastructure inspections can take a toll on equipment. Our ROVs and pipe crawlers are commercial-grade products that are designed and constructed to withstand the punishment. What’s more, our products feature magnetic couplers instead of dynamic seals that require greasing, making them virtually maintenance free.
The Benefits of Deep Trekker in Infrastructure:
- No topside power required, self contained batteries provide a full working days work on 1 battery charge.
- 270 degree camera rotation to quickly inspect submerged infrastructure
- Easy to use, no previous training required
- Affordable tool for everyone, with robust and sophisticated features

Case Studies
"We have utilized the ROV for a variety of functions, such as checking on our anchoring system and conducting underwater inspections that are usually costly and difficult for divers to perform. The ROV has enabled us to reduce the costs associated with divers and has aided us in ensuring that our innovative technology is functioning as designed."
