“We know that a heightened sensitivity towards health and safety and project critical risks associated with riser fatigue means ingenuity in riser integrity management is urgent,” says Eric Doyle, Aquaterra European regional director. “The RMS design utilizes a combination of direct riser strain measurement, subsea data logging and riser analysis processing algorithms.
Aquaterra says that the RMS will prevent a riser system being continually used despite having a depleted fatigue life and avoid a systems being scrapped too early, when money and time could be saved by safely extending its life, increasing both profitability and minimizing project risk.
Aquaterra Energy specializes in offshore engineering solutions within four business streams including riser systems, offshore structures, hydraulic systems and service and rental.
“We have already won a contract to supply the RMS to a client on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for which we are creating a bespoke system,” says Doyle. “There is a strong market for tried and tested, simple and well engineered equipment. We can offer both traditional solutions at a good cost as well as tailored systems to increase peace of mind, enhance safety and ultimately boost businesses’ bottom line.”
