Between June 2019 and July 2021, five diving
fatalities occurred at power-generation facilities in
the USA due to differential pressure (Delta-P). For this
reason, and at the request of the OSHA's Office of
Maritime Enforcement, the Association of Diving
Contractors International (ADCI) has organized a
team of experts and published this document.

Mini Remotely Operated Vehicle (mini-ROV)
technology has been utilized to perform the
underwater inspection with optimized Risk-based
Underwater Inspection (RBUI) scope for offshore
platforms, which conventionally utilize divers and
ROV supported by Dynamic Positioning Diving
Support Vessel (DPDSV). This technology was
introduced by launching the mini-ROV from the
platform deck to perform General Visual Inspection
(GVI), Cathodic Potential (CP) Survey, Flooded
Member Detection (FMD) & Ultrasonic Thickness
(UT) measurement with customized mini-ROV
integration with another tooling.
