Measurement platform to be installed in water

Abstract

The invention relates to a light, easy-to-transport measurement platform to be installed in water, comprising an improved suction-anchor-type foundation that forms the base of the platform. Use is made of the pressure difference between the exterior and the interior in order to drive same into the sea bed, and extraction for re-use is made possible by reversing the pressure gradient. The measurement platform also includes: a series of telescopically connected tubes; a housing on top of said tubes, containing the devices; a vertical-axis wind turbine for powering the assembly; a device (WiMAX or equivalent) for transmitting data to the land station; and a Doppler laser airspeed indicator, security cameras and a Doppler current meter terminal. All of the data recorded by the devices and the images from the security cameras are sent to the land station in a continuous manner.; In this way, the security of the facility is increased and possible sabotage is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to measurement towers, in particular to measurement towers installed in water. The invention relates to a platform in which measuring equipment is installed for measuring renewable resources from the sea and in inland waters, and for measuring marine dynamic parameters required for carrying out production plant installation projects on the sea. Background technique [0002] Currently, it is known that the oceans need to be utilized to provide food, energy and water for humans, since land does not have enough capacity to meet these needs. [0003] For this purpose, various offshore installations capable of producing these resources have been developed. [0004] All of these installations or equipment depend on a location in the sea that is suitable both for the work (the purpose for which these installations are installed) and for the base where it is desired to perform. Therefore, there is a need to have a measurement da...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Both methods require specific equipment for transport and installation, of which only a few units are still operating in the world, whereby, in addition to their running costs, the costs of mobilization and demobilization from the original port to the installation location must be added, This also requires suitable weather conditions and involves complex administrative procedures to restore the location after use to its pre-installation condition

This involves cutting the monopile at the same level as the bottom (due to the impossibility of extracting it from the bottom) with a heat gun operated by a very professional diver, further adding to the cost of the method

Removal of the tripod requires the same equipment as its use and is generally not reusable
