A UTOMATION, CONTROL & MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY
Continuous measurement and control of subsea pipelines
PIPELINES ARE SUBJECT TO MULTIPLE FORCES DURING THEIR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION IN A SUBSEA ENVIRONMENT. FORCES FROM SUCH THINGS AS SURROUNDING SEA CONDITIONS, TEMPERATURE changes and production fluid flow variances can create motions and vibrations in the pipelines, that if not appreciated and managed effectively, can result in possible damage and premature fatigue.
