During these inspections we perform checkups of the in- and outside of the monopiles. We use tools like underwater camera’s, ‘multi beam sonars’, cathodic protection meter and other ‘state of the art’ tools. We pay extra attention at the condition of the anodes, cable protection systems, bottom/scour, growth of organisms.

Today it was extra exciting. We were visited by a curious seal. The seal, we named him ‘Joe’, has entered the monopile through a ‘refreshment hole’.

Because of him there was some extra danger though. We’ve shut down the ROV propellers to make sure Joe wasn’t harmed. The camera kept filming which resulted in beautiful images.

In the end Joe swam away and Cspect was able to finish a perfect inspection round.
Also Joe had an unforgettable experience.

Great to see that nature and a technical environment can go hand in hand.
