MEASURING PLATFORM AND METHOD FOR FINDING AND MONITORING PIPELINES UNDER WATER

摘要

The invention concerns a measurement platform (1) for the detection and monitoring of underwater pipelines and the monitoring of the functionality of mechanical corrosion protection. It has a floating body (2),which is trained to receive sensor elements (8) and has at least two drive elements (3) on one side (2.1). In addition, a position recognition unit (20) is available to determine the current position and orientation of the floating body (2).;According to the invention, at least one of the two drive elements (3) is located in opposite areas at the bottom (2.1) of the body (2). Each drive element (3) can be rotated around one axis that is essentially orthogonal to the bottom (2.1) of the floating body (2).;The invention also concerns a procedure for operating a measuring platform (1).
