Underwater NDT & NDE

Planys is at the forefront of revolutionizing underwater asset integrity by deploying advanced Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) sensors specifically designed for submerged civil infrastructure. These next-generation sensors are now actively being piloted across critical underwater assets, offering unprecedented insights into structural health without requiring surface-level intervention.
Our proprietary underwater NDE systems enable real-time assessment of internal conditions in submerged structures, opening new possibilities in predictive maintenance and risk mitigation—particularly for assets like jetties, ports, dams, and bridges.
Following successful deployment and validation across key European marine terminals, Planys’ advanced NDT methods have demonstrated, high-speed inspection without marine growth cleaning and enhanced safety for operators and environments
