2.4.1  Start the Inspection

Ensure the path from the vehicle's position to the first piling is not obstructed. If it is obstructed, navigate the vehicle to a location that avoids the obstruction and has a clear path to the first waypoint.

Once you have navigated to the piling, begin the inspeciton using the planned method, either vertical passes or circumferential passes. If cross bracing is present, you may only be able to inspect one side of the piling at a time.
