Engineers Develop Cost-Effective Seafloor Testing Device for Offshore Wind Farms
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jul 18, 2024
Australian engineers have introduced an innovative device, inspired by a modified speargun, to provide a cost-efficient method for testing seabed soil in the development of offshore wind farms.
The RMIT University-designed device propels a probe into the seabed, gathering critical data about the underwater terrain.
Traditionally, seabed testing involves winching or dropping probes, k
