Facts
シー・エフ・デー販売株式会社 has released case studies of underwater inspections of offshore wind power facilities using the “FIFISH W6 MAX” industrial underwater drone made by QYSEA社.
In this case study, inspections were conducted on monopile foundations and underwater structures at an offshore substation.
The “FIFISH W6 MAX” was deployed from a small vessel and approached the inspection targets while using a 2D imaging sonar to check the relative positions of the monopile and bend restrictor.
A high-pressure washer removed marine growth from the structure’s surface, exposing areas needed for visual inspection and measurement.
Wall thickness was measured using an ultrasonic probe, and potential measurements were taken to check the corrosion protection status.
The shape and dimensions of the sacrificial anodes were recorded using the “QY-MT-3D” 3D measurement tool.
The “FIFISH W6 MAX” is an industrial underwater drone that can combine tools such as sonar, high-pressure washing, ultrasonic wall-thickness measurement, corrosion protection potential measurement, and 3D measurement with visual inspections using its camera-equipped ROV.
