Description

As the Japanese government decided to boost the carbon neutral power source development, offshore wind farm projects are emerging in Japan and hundreds of platforms will be constructed in the near future. Some of these platforms are possible to be floating structures and made of concrete-like material whose biofouling should be limited from the viewpoint of drag force reduction. An autonomous cleaning robot is one of possible solutions to minimize the effect of biofouling. To develop the cleaning device, we started field experiments to study biofouling process. In this paper, we introduce some results of biofouling monitoring experiments using several different concrete-like samples at sea.
