Responsive team of problem-solvers

Our multi-disciplinary engineering and field service personnel have extensive experience in

complex offshore systems and integrity engineering. Because we are independent and know what to look for, we perform assessments quickly and often under extreme deadlines whilst providing unbiased mitigation solutions.

Root cause identification and remediation

We perform forensic engineering in the event of failure incidents to identify root causes, recommend design modifications and deliver remedial solutions. We offer turnkey design and delivery of integrity mitigation solutions using an agile and flexible supply chain cultivated over many years of integrity remediation projects to meet extreme project schedules.

Common issues

  • Degradation of the riser pipe, coatings or seals

  • Aircan and buoyancy can leaks and failures

  • Mechanical connection failures

  • Leaks due to excessive loading or corrosion

  • Excessive movement on seabed

Project Experience 

Risers:

  • GoM oil spill emergency response: deepwater freestanding containment riser design, delivery and installation management.

  • GoM spar riser air can stem fatigue crack: engineering assessment, retrofit structural clamp design and delivery to mitigate issue.
