Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for underwater pipes comprising an ultrasound emitting system and at least one ultrasound receiving transducer is lowered into he marine environment. During an inspection phase, an ultrasound inspection source of the ultrasound emitting system and the receiving transducer are disposed on each side of the pipe. The inspection source is activated, and an ultrasound signal captured by the receiving transducer is recorded. In response to the observation of an anomaly in the ultrasound signal captured by the receiving transducer, a power source of the ultrasound emitting system is then coupled to the pipe at the aforementioned location, and the power source is activated in order to destroy the obstruction.
