Weld inspection and remediation

Laser pipe end measurement

Specialist award-winning camera and laser inspection services for hard-to-reach areas within energy production. We have successfully carried out a number of one-off inspections in other sectors. Contact us if you have technically challenging inspection requirements.

Laser pipe end measurement and fit-up services for stronger, safer, longer lasting pipelines. SmartFit™ technology achieves best possible fit-up, even in complex critical pipeline sections such as spool pieces, risers and stalk tie-ins.

 
 

Solve weld defects at an early stage with this modular addition to the award-winning AUGA.node weld inspection system. Welds are accessed via robotic crawler or attached to the ILUC, improving safety as no man-entry is required. Production can proceed efficiently with reduced need for expensive and time-consuming cut-outs.

 
 

Laser bevel measurement

Improve weld quality, increase welding process efficiency and build stronger pipelines with the Bevel360, which uses state-of-the-art lasers to provide comprehensive information about a pipe bevel, eliminating doubt about bevel compliance.

  • Total 360 degree coverage of the bevel

  • Go / no-go in 25 seconds

  • Allows production control of bevel quality

  • Pipe sizes from 6” to 32”

  • Wall thickness up to 45 mm

  • Measures most common bevel types

Pipe fit-up

Achieve the best possible pipe fit-up, even in complex critical pipeline sections, with OMS SmartFit™ technology, which provides the most comprehensive pipe fit-up information on the market. Data reports to Excel. Pipes can be sorted, grouped and sequenced for optimum fit-up and ‘golden’ pipe can be selected for critical sections.

  • Build stronger, longer lasting pipelines

  • Reduce fit-up time and increase productivity

  • Bring projects in on budget

  • Increase asset lifetime

  • Improve weld quality

  • Mitigate project risks

  • Achieve project standards

  • Improve safety

Software

Make rapid, accurate in-field decisions with our flexible, customisable software developed in-house and continuously enhanced by our specialist team. User-friendly, intuitive software with simple interfaces and go/no go indicators ideal for use in challenging energy environments. We work with clients to ensure our programmes work effectively alongside their existing systems.We can also adapt software and develop new programs to meet clients’ specific needs.

 Robotics

Access welds thought to be unreachable with our state-of-the-art robotic crawlers, which deploy award-winning laser and camera inspection equipment. Robust, reliable technology used successfully in major oil, gas and renewable energy projects all over the world.

 Cleaning

Inspect and clean hard-to-reach areas where man-entry is not safe or possible with our remotely operated cleaning and inspection system. Designed to operate with a variety of abrasive and non-abrasive cleaning methods, our solution is capable of travel up to 100 metres using a standard umbilical system.

  • Remove surface contaminants and vermin rapidly

  • No need for hazardous human entry

  • Remotely operated with simple Xbox controller

  • UltraHD camera inspection

  • Methods include dry ice blasting, water jetting and laser ablation

  • Easily transportable to all locations
