In the past, tunnel inspec� on has been carried out with divers, which is both dangerous and expensive, or with remotely operated cameras. It has previously been diffi cult to use inspec� on cameras due to poor visibility caused by turbidity and poor ligh� ng, but this is now a thing of the past thanks to LYYN™ real-� me video enhancement technology.
One of the companies off ering underwater inspec� on services without divers is Subsea ROV Services, based in Falkirk, Scotland. The company, run by Steven Borthwick, carries out all types of underwater inspec� ons in a safe and environmentally friendly manner using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) supplied by VideoRay.
On a recent inspec� on of a water tunnel network at a coal-fi red power plant the color camera on the VideoRay was equipped with the LYYN T38™ real-� me video enhancer. The water in the tunnels was so murky that the video obtained with the standard confi gura� on was completely inadequate. However, the images obtained with the LYYN T38™ system clearly showed mussels and the buildup of silt. The images also had suffi cient detail to confi rm that drawings of the tunnel network from 1962 are accurate.

“Without LYYN’s image enhancement technology, we wouldn’t have been able to carry out this job so thoroughly and with such precision”, said Steven Borthwick of Subsea ROV Services. “No one at the power sta� on knew what the tunnels looked like. Now they can make plans for a thorough cleanup, without having to use divers.”
