The subsea operation was well underway in the wreck area for "U-864" by May 7. The first of six piezometers have been installed. These sensors will measure the consolidation of the counter fill. Norwegian Coastal Administration representatives Roald Kristoffersen and Mikael Viggen from Reinertsen AS were monitoring the installation, making sure the contractor installs properly, safely and that the sensors are functioning.
