BeeX Hovering AUV A.IKANBILIS:
The client had a floating solar farm at a reservoir in need of inspection. However, the waters of the reservoir were murky. Hence, the client needed a solution that could gather robust data despite low visibility environmental conditions.
Having heard of BeeX’s capabilities in inspection with Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), the company contracted BeeX to verify AUV capabilities in 3D-mapping and obtaining high-quality visual footage of inspected components.
Launched from the company’s boat, BeeX’s AUV A.IKANBILIS obtained underwater visuals of the floating farm’s floats, mooring lines, inventor support piles, and submerged power cables. Then, for a better asset assessment, A.IKANBILIS generated a 3D point cloud visualisation of the floating farm’s piles and performed a bathymetry of the farm’s surrounding reservoir ground.
The successful collaboration with BeeX showcased the effectiveness of A.IKANBILIS in overcoming the challenges posed by low-visibility environments. By delivering high-quality underwater visuals and precise 3D mapping, the gathered information would empower the client to thoroughly assess the condition of their floating solar farm. This partnership not only ensured the integrity and longevity of the client’s renewable energy assets but also demonstrated the crucial role of advanced AUV technology in supporting sustainable energy initiatives and infrastructure management.
