Development of Inspection Tools for TCP Pipes
The development of inspection tools for composite pipes has been another major initiative by SIMEROS to support the integrity management of its clients’ and partners’ assets. This translates into an advanced solution for identifying manufacturing defects and defects that occur throughout the application of these essential pieces of equipment in the Oil and Gas (O&G) sector.
Among the main features of this development, it is possible to highlight:
- The current version allows automated onshore inspection through a robotic vehicle, providing precise and efficient inspection, as well as rapid and accurate defect detection.
- In addition to identifying defects, it can determine the exact position and geometry of the defects. This is crucial for ensuring effective management of equipment integrity.
- Another technical differentiator is its ability to generate images and graphs that represent sections of the composite pipe. These visual data provide valuable insights into the state of the pipe and facilitate decision-making.
In an effort to meet the demands of the O&G sector, especially in offshore operations in ultra-deep waters, SIMEROS is expanding the capabilities of its tool. With a commitment to leadership in innovation of inspection systems for submarine pipes, SIMEROS positions itself as a strategic partner in addressing current challenges and preparing for future demands for safety and efficiency in subsea operations.
