Deep Ocean Engineering uses ROV to inspect intake riser at Cherry Lake Dam

Deep Ocean Engineering, Inc.’s Phantom T4H remotely operated vehicle (ROV) has successfully completed an inspection of the intake riser at Cherry Lake Dam near Yosemite in California. During the inspection, the ROV successfully chronicled the “state of the dam’s water intake riser and the position of the gates at a depth of 258 feet (78.6m),” which is approximately a quarter of the ROV’s rated capability. A Dynamic Positioning (DP) capable triple pontoon boat with a forward mounted ROV Launch and Recovery System (LARS) was used during the inspection, as it sent the ROV to the intake riser’s coordinates, while maintaining a steady position.
