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.
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
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...
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.
ACFM® NodeScanner™
TSC Subsea was contracted by Ocean Breeze Energy GmbH (OBE), for selected weld subsea inspections at the BARD Offshore1 wind farm in the German Bight. Commissioned during 2010-2013, the wind farm consists of 80 5MW turbines and a single Offshore Substation Platform...
ART® vCaliper – The Solution for Tight Access Ovality and Wall Thickness Subsea Inspection
The Challenge TSC Subsea was initially contracted by C-Innovation to conduct weld inspections for a major operator in the GOM. Within its life extension plan, the operator is required to carry out crack detection of the column to pontoon welds as part of its UWILD...
When size matters, the ARTEMIS® vCompact will get you out of a tight spot
The Challenge Beach Energy Ltd contracted TSC Subsea to carry out a wall thickness inspection through coating on the 20” Otway pipeline located near the Thylacine A platform in the Bass Strait, Australia. The inspection was to determine the size and depth of corrosion...
Inspecting Tight Access Riser Guides with Bespoke ACFM Deployment System
The challenge Risers, and the riser guides that hold them in place, are subject to severe environmental conditions that often lead to fatigue damage. Failure of these structures could be potentially catastrophic so they must be inspected regularly to ensure structure...
High-resolution integrity inspection of a 24-year-old water injection pipeline
Challenge A major North Sea operator required accurate, high-resolution wall-thickness data to determine the integrity of a 24-year-old water injection pipeline. The measurements would enable the operator to assess corrosion growth to inform a risk-based inspection...
Coated Pipes for Blind Testing of ARTEMIS
Challenge A major operating company prepared four spool pieces for blind testingAll spool pieces contain corrosion features and are coated with a shrink wrap field joint coatingPrior to coating all of the pipes have been inspected using a standard AUT...
