Inspection of surfaces by side scan sonar

Mazel, C.H.

Side scan sonar has long been used for mapping of the horizontal sea floor. Recent tests have demonstrated that the technology shows promise for inspection of the face of vertical or sloped surfaces, including piers, breakwaters, and bridge caissons. The new applications are primarily a matter of technique and require little or no modification of standard off-the-shelf systems. This paper will provide an overview of the experience in these new areas, with a discussion of the benefits and limitations. As a result of the tests to date, side scan sonar is presently under consideration as a tool for inspection of the surface of the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) OTEC cold water pipe.
