Tracerco secures large flooded member inspection (FMI) project in the Caribbean

Tracerco, part of Johnson Matthey Plc, has recently been awarded a large-scale project to verify the integrity of multiple platform members in the Caribbean sea.

Via the use of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), the TracercoTM Diagnostics Flooded Member Inspection will provide an 100% accurate and reliable method of identifying the presence of any flooding in multiple vertical, horizontal and angled members, without the need to remove any marine growth or specialist coatings.

Over the course of the 25-day inspection project, Tracerco’s experienced subsea engineers will provide an immediate assessment of the degree of flooding for each member surveyed, before providing a full report of platform member integrity at the end of the project.

The operator will then utilise this data to inform any potential remedial work that is needed for each of their platform structures.

With Lloyd's Register recognition for its conformance and industry quality standard in the application of FMI, Tracerco was chosen as the technology solutions provider due its ability to provide 100% accurate measurements in real time. Not only does this ensure that inspections are right the first time, it also reduces the financial risk and impact associated with repeat inspections (or remedial work that may not even be required), meaning the operator can be very confident in the integrity assessment of their jackets.
