Challenge - Detect corrosion on piping and structures.
Corrosion of piping and structures is an ongoing problem for the offshore industry. In particular, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a major challenge due to the difficulty in detection. Operators ultimately carry out large-scale inspection scopes incorporating removal of insulation and cladding materials, often at height, with the help of Rope Access teams or costly scaffolding.
Solution
The latest ATEX-approved, wireless CUI sensors are installed to measure temperature, humidity and moisture levels. Data is transmitted via NB-IoT via the asset's local network, and Asset Integrity teams can monitor alarms to plan and execute work scopes to carry out remediation scopes as needed.
