What is Underwater Pile Inspection?
Underwater pile inspection is the systematic assessment of submerged pile structures — measuring section loss from corrosion, identifying mechanical damage from vessel impact or scour, and verifying coating & cathodic protection performance. It’s mandatory for asset integrity programmes on jetties, port terminals, FPSO yokes and offshore platforms.
When does your structure need Pile Inspection?
- Annual integrity check — port operator or terminal owner inspection schedule
- Post-impact — after a vessel berthing collision or anchor drag
- Pre-loading verification — before a heavy lift or modified mooring arrangement
- Insurance & warranty — class survey or insurer-mandated assessment
- End-of-life evaluation — extending operational life of an aging structure
