Rovco and PanGeo Subsea have teamed up to offer an operations and maintenance (O&M) service to the offshore wind industry using advanced digitisation technology.
The companies are combining their respective areas of expertise to capture and provide early insight into changing subsea component and environmental conditions that may lead to wider problems or failures without planned intervention.
This collaboration is in response to the offshore energy market’s “growing need for a prompt and detailed understanding” of the performance of subsea infrastructure such as anodes, CPS, scour, cable burial and the effect of marine growth during the O&M lifecycle.
The offering combines Rovco’s offshore O&M and hydrographic survey expertise, the SubSLAM X2 Intelligent Data Collection System, and PanGeo’s 3D Sub-Bottom Imager technology to deliver full 3D images of subsea assets above and below the seabed.
Owners and operators can create reference models of critical components, providing an “easy and intuitive” way to keep track of their assets conditions within the design limitations of the OEMs and engineering authorities’ original specifications.
By combining the PanGeo SBI, SubSLAM and a host of ROV deployed tools, owners and operators are offered a single sourced solution to inform the condition of their jackets, monopiles and interconnecting cables plus protection systems, in a solution that can be deployed whilst the assets are still operating and energised (HVAC or HVDC).
