Subsea Grout Integrity Assessment with ART

Subsea Grout Integrity Assessment with ART

Grout integrity verification of subsea structures is now possible thanks to TSC Subsea’s innovative technology and the development of its unique solution, the ART GUIDE scanner.

Deploying dual NDT methods for the inspection of complex welds.

Deploying dual NDT methods for the inspection of complex welds.

The Challenge TSC Subsea received a request from a major operator, Equinor AS, to evaluate the feasibility of inspecting subsea risers coated with thermally sprayed aluminium (TSA). Specifically, the inspection focused on assessing the fillet weld surrounding an anode...

Inspecting Concrete Weighed Pipes with SPECTA

Inspecting Concrete Weighed Pipes with SPECTA

The Challenge TSC Subsea was contracted by a client to  carry out wall thickness assessment of Condensate Export Pipeline (CEP) and Pipeline End Manifold (PLEM) without removing the protective concrete weight coat (CWC). The assessment was required as the client...

Subsea Phased Array (SPA)

Subsea Phased Array (SPA)

TSC Subsea were challenged to investigate sand erosion concerns on subsea structure piping off the coast of Western Australia. The inspection campaign covered multiple assets including Pipeline End Manifold (PLEM), tie in spool and subsea cooling skid in the Halyard Field and a PLEM in the East Spar Field.

Custom Designed Extrados Scanner for Inspection of Subsea Gas Lift Riser

Custom Designed Extrados Scanner for Inspection of Subsea Gas Lift Riser

TSC Subsea rises to the challenge of scanning and data collection on small diameter pipe bends by developing a custom designed “extrados scanner” for inspection of gas lift risers.

Multiple technologies deployed on multiple inspections across multiple assets by a single inspection vendor achieves big savings for the client.

External Subsea Inspection of Flexible Risers

External Subsea Inspection of Flexible Risers

TSC Subsea’s Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) is currently the only third-party validated method of subsea detection of liquid ingress in the annulus of flexible production risers. It is deployed using the ARTEMIS® tool which has a broad application range and can be used on risers and flowlines down to 3000m water depth.
