Abstract

Onshore and offshore structure planning requires wave and current data which are the result of direct measurements on site. One area that affects the measurements is the deep-sea, where the area has large wave energy and currents that greatly affect the condition of the waters adjacent to the location of planned coastal and offshore structures. One of the most widely used survey equipment is ADP or ADCP. This paper explains the experiences of collecting oceanography data in deep-sea. The survey method entails placing an equipment on the seabed, which will emit signals indicating the flow and wave data according to the desired time and depth. The survey process, especially for the deep-sea, requires good preparation so as not to fail. The result of this paper is the identification of the technical, natural and social challenges of such project. The technical challenges are tool stability, buoyancy effects, and visualization tools with underwater camera system, underwater visibility, and sedimentation. Natural challenges are big waves, strong currents, and weather. The social challenges are destruction of property, fishing grounds on land, and the behaviour of local people. Therefore, before the survey, safety procedures and documents must be made in the form of HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis). The authors hope that the challenges identified in this survey can be considered for other surveyors conducting similar projects in mitigating potential failures during the survey.
