DANGERS OF THE SPLASH-ZONE For Offshore Structures
Providing the energy sector industries with the most advanced high-pressure cleaning, ultrasonic testing, and remote visual inspection technology, AISUS offers a suite of internal and external remote inspection solutions, for the increasingly complex challenges faced by customers operating in the harshest of environments. Multi-skilled teams ensure the integrity of structures, inspected in the splash-zone or onshore, and are continually supporting ongoing global operations, field development or life extension projects. In-house experience and the ability to provide quality data repeatedly helps clients to meet the required guidelines and mitigate expensive replacement programmes through early intervention strategies.
Company Details
T
he Splash-zone area is defined as a section of the structure that is periodically in and out of water due to the action of waves or tides. This area is difficult to inspect by the topside team and ROV surveys that typically struggle to clean and inspect in the -15m to LAT region. These however are areas of high degradation due to the changing conditions, wave impact and the first subsea guide location. Over the past decade, AISUS has found multiple defects and seen multiple cases where severed caissons have acted as dropped objects, closely missing critical
subsea infrastructure that could lead to major incidents. Not only do the structures face issues in the Splash-zone, but over time internal equipment such as pumps can lead to further internal damage. Ultimately, these challenges can lead to unplanned shutdowns if there are no redundancy or mitigations put in place. This is where the specialist technology and expertise of AISUS come into the equation like no other, accessing difficult areas to provide valuable data and solutions, that in many cases can be overseen or left as the unknown.
Internal Inspection Remotely deployed and controlled internal solutions are ideal for use where access restrictions mean manual techniques offer limited or no inspection coverage or results. The full suite of technology including corrosion mapping, cleaning, visual, sampling and retrieval tools, provides solutions for pipework and structures above and below the waterline. AISUS has developed unique inspection systems for inspection in Caissons, J-tubes, Risers and Conductors.
