Regular safety appraisal of dam and its appurtenant structures is recommended by dam safety committees. Monitoring of dam is carried out in many ways like Visual inspections, Instrumentation, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Underwater Inspection using divers, Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) and Geophysical methods. In dealing with the safety problems during the operation, maintenance and surveillance of dams, it is essential to carefully collect process and study all available information. Underwater scanning, using ROV, is a good solution for assessment of health of submerged portion of structures. This paper presents case studies of underwater scanning of an important Hydro Electric Project using the Remote Operated Vehicle for the diagnostic investigation.
