Subsea inspection, repair and maintenance

Ensuring the integrity of subsea infrastructure requires robust repair and maintenance strategies. Operators rely on an established history and previous data in subsea inspections and repairs to minimise downtime and prevent accidents. We offer inspection services including a comprehensive suite of repair and maintenance solutions. These include pipeline inspection, hull and mooring inspections, and cathodic protection services. Each strategy is meticulously designed to uphold the safety, operability, and regulatory compliance of subsea infrastructure, ensuring that these critical assets remain in optimal condition.

These services are crucial for identifying potential issues before they escalate, thereby safeguarding the longevity and performance of subsea infrastructure. This includes the maintenance and inspection of subsea structures, which are essential components of the overall subsea assets.

Inspection value analysis is a pivotal component of subsea asset management, enabling operators to prioritise inspection activities based on the criticality of their assets. This process involves identifying the most critical subsea assets, prioritising inspection activities, and formulating maintenance and repair plans to ensure their integrity. By optimising inspection activities through value analysis, operators can reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and ensure the seamless operation of their subsea infrastructure. A well-structured value analysis allows operators to anticipate potential issues before they become major problems, reducing the likelihood of costly, unplanned downtime.

Subsea asset management is a cornerstone of the oil and gas industry, ensuring the integrity and reliability of vital subsea infrastructure. Effective management involves a strategic blend of IMR activities designed to prevent accidents, ensure regulatory compliance, and minimise operational downtime. By leveraging our expertise of subsea inspection services, operators can maintain the health of their subsea assets through comprehensive inspection solutions. These services are crucial for identifying potential issues before they escalate, thereby safeguarding the longevity and performance of subsea infrastructure.

Underwater inspection techniques use advanced technologies like Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), Uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and acoustic imaging systems to assess subsea infrastructure with high precision. ROVs, equipped with cameras and sensors, perform detailed inspections of offshore assets such as pipelines and flowlines in hard-to-reach areas. USVs provide a cost-effective, uncrewed platform for data collection, reducing safety risks while maintaining accuracy. Acoustic pipeline inspection methods, including sonar and ultrasonic testing, detect anomalies or defects, ensuring the integrity of critical subsea infrastructure.

These techniques are essential for proactive subsea maintenance and repair, supporting offshore asset integrity. Fugro’s underwater inspection services deliver valuable insights to prevent costly failures and extend the lifespan of subsea infrastructure. By combining these technologies with tailored subsea IRM services, We ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations in challenging offshore environments.

Subsea engineering solutions are crucial for maintaining the integrity of subsea assets, especially in offshore environments. By leveraging advanced subsea inspection services, including visual inspection, pipeline inspection, and weld inspection, operators can detect issues like internal corrosion, cracks, and structural damage early. Techniques such as phased array, eddy current testing, and alternating current field measurement are used to assess subsea pipelines and structures for signs of wear and degradation. Work class ROVs equipped with specialised tools provide critical access to subsea infrastructure, even in hard-to-reach areas like the splash zone, enabling comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of asset health.

We offer a wide range of inspection solutions tailored to improve asset integrity and ensure the reliability of subsea infrastructure. Technologies like flooded member detection, crack detection, and cathodic protection help operators prevent costly repairs by identifying potential issues before they escalate. Through accurate data collection, reporting, and analysis, we ensure that pipelines and structures remain safe, operational, and efficient throughout their life cycle. This approach maximises asset performance while minimising downtime and enhancing overall subsea asset management.

ROVs are essential tools in subsea operations, offering unmatched versatility and precision for inspecting, monitoring, and maintaining subsea assets. Work class ROVs are equipped with advanced technologies such as cameras, sonar systems, and manipulators, enabling operators to perform visual inspection, weld inspection, and pipeline inspection with high accuracy. These vehicles provide access to challenging environments like the splash zone and deep-sea locations, allowing for the assessment of subsea infrastructure without risking human divers.

ROVs also support critical inspection techniques, including alternating current field measurement, eddy current testing, phased array, and flooded member detection, to identify internal corrosion, cracks, and structural issues. Their ability to collect accurate data and facilitate real-time reporting enhances the management of asset integrity, ensuring that subsea pipelines and structures are maintained efficiently. With a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions, ROVs help operators address a wide range of challenges, from routine maintenance to complex repairs, safeguarding the reliability and longevity of subsea infrastructure in the oil and gas sector.
