Motor Wherrys - Norfolk Broads

I often get Insurance Surveys coming through this time of year. This assignment was to inspect these two local Motor or Mud Wherrys, they are a class of work boat primarily used for transporting the results of dredging on the Norfolk Broads.


 





 




The Survey involves inspecting the bottom and chine plates which are scrapped clean, by general hammer soundings and by ultrasonic point residual thickness measurements taken at selected and random points.

Sacrificial anodes are also checked. An anode attached to a metal object, such as a boat helps to inhibit the hulls corrosion. The anode is electrolytically decomposed while the hull should remain free from damage

To receive a quote for a Ultrasound Survey, fill in the online survey enquiry form on my webpage, or contact me directly with you requirements.

Within the report, problems found during the survey are listed and information is given on their importance and recommendations for repair. All the thickness measurements made during the survey including their position will be recorded within the report.
