LinearScanner™
The robust, field-proven TSC Subsea Linear Scanner is a compact, remotely deployed scanning solution specifically designed to fit into restricted-access areas where other inspection scanners simply won’t fit. It is positioned onto the inspection area via an ROV.
LinearScanner™
The scanner’s automated linear scan action ensures smooth and consistent real-time data capture, maximising array probes to cover up to 100% of the inspection area. Once placed in position by the ROV, built-in passive compliance ensures good probe contact during scanning. The LinearScanner™ actively measures the travel distance of the probe, resulting in accurate defect position and sizing.
The LinearScanner™:
- Scans straight welds, e.g. corner fillet welds
- Scans 200mm in 10 seconds
- Is compact enough to fit into restricted areas others can’t access
- Uses cameras and mirrors to allow operators to observe the probe during scanning
- Enables interpretation of the data in real time while storing the raw data for later use
- Has a low false-call rate
- Is tolerant of residual marine growth and material coatings

Rapid Hydrate Plug Detection Solution for Subsea Pipelines.
Introduction In the deep waters off the coast of Angola, a major offshore operator faced a significant flow assurance issue with one of its 12-inch gas gathering flowlines. The suspected culprit? Hydrate plug. Hydrate formation is a major flow assurance concern for...

Smooth Sailing with ACFM Crack Assessment on Cargo Ship Propellers.
The Archon Gabriel Bulk Carrier was navigating the cold waters of the Gulf of Finland. The harsh sea conditions, laden with sea ice, posed significant navigational challenges and resulted in the ship’s 6-meter diameter bronze propeller suffering ice damage. Given the...
Diverless ACFM Inspection Solution for FPSO Bilge Keel Weld Integrity Assessment.
FPSO operators are increasingly seeking ways to inspect their hulls below the waterline without resorting to drydocking, a costly process that entails significant production loss, rendering it inefficient and logistically challenging. Recognising the benefits of a...
Tethered ILI Robotic Solution for Internal Riser and Pipeline Inspection
The Challenge bp sought a comprehensive, circumferential 360-degree scan of the riser. TSC Subsea provided the solution - a robotic system that could both travel longitudinally along the riser and had the ability to precisely stop and stabilise itself, in order to...
