REMOTE FLOODED MEMBER DETECTION
Document Type and Number:

Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Utilizing a sonar system to determine if a structural member of an underwater support structure that is supposed to be filled with air is instead flooded with water.

The sonar system is located a distance from the structural member so that it is spaced from the structural member.
