Maximising the life of subsea assets

Dr Geoff Lyons and Steve Rossiter presented papers at the recent SUT evening event in London.

Geoff presented: Advances in Subsea Integrity Monitoring

This covered some of BPP-TECH's experience and new developments in the integrity monitoring of moorings, tensioned risers, flexible risers and SCRS (notably DRIFT), umbilicals, pipelines and cables. Our innovative work includes the development and promotion of fibre optic strain and temperature sensing as well as the BPP-RMS Riser Management System for tensioned risers, and high specification radiography of risers in deep water.

Steve presented: Dynamic Subsea Cables - Recent developments for extended asset life

  • Dynamic power cable development drivers
  • Subsea cable risks
  • Recent developments in cable design, analysis and monitoring
  • Test procedures
  • Case study: HV Dynamic Subsea Cable design through to qualification
