MEASURING PLATFORM AND METHOD FOR FINDING AND MONITORING PIPELINES UNDER WATER

摘要

The invention relates to a measuring platform (1) for locating and monitoring pipelines under water and for monitoring the functionality of the mechanical corrosion protection. It has a floating body (2) which is designed to accommodate sensor elements (8) and has at least two drive elements (3) on an underside (2.1). In addition, there is a position detection unit (20) for determining a current position and a current orientation of the floating body (2). According to the invention, one of the at least two drive elements (3) is located in opposite areas at the ends of the underside (2.1) of the floating body (2) ) arranged. Each drive element (3) can be pivoted about an axis oriented essentially orthogonally to the underside (2.1) of the floating body (2). The invention also relates to a method for operating a measuring platform (1).
