Spot Biofouling & Propeller Cleaning
Subsea water jets to clean localized marine growth off propellers or weld lines before NDT testing or high-detail 3D scanning.
What This Involves
Marine growth on a propeller or along a weld line doesn't just cost fuel efficiency — it can also mask the surface a later NDT test or 3D scan needs to read cleanly. We run a targeted subsea water-jet clean on the specific area that matters, rather than a full hull clean, ahead of inspection work where a clear surface is the difference between a usable result and a repeat visit.
How It's Done
Target area identified — propeller, weld line, or sea chest grating
Subsea water-jet cleaning to bare, inspectable surface
Immediate handoff into NDT testing or 3D scanning where that's the reason for the clean
Before/after photo record
Deliverable
A clean, inspectable surface at the specific location that needed it, with a before/after record.
Who It's For
Any inspection or NDT job where growth on the target surface would otherwise compromise the result.
