Introduction to Underwater Inspection and Repair
The decision to undertake any form of repair or mitigation of an anomaly, detected by inspection, needs to be based on a thorough evaluation and often a more detailed inspection of the anomaly and its effect on the structural safety, based on established standards and knowledge. Inspection and repair of stationary structures requires inspection and repair to be performed in an offshore environment and often underwater by an ROV. Floating platforms are in general dependent on their watertight integrity and station keeping in addition to their structural integrity to function. Fixed steel structures consist of a steel spaceframe piled to the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Most concrete structures rest on the seabed on a large caisson often with skirts that penetrate the seabed protecting the structure against horizontal and overturning forces. The chapter also presents an overview on the key concepts discussed in this book.
