Subsea pipeline inspection for offshore integrity management

Fairtex Integrated Services Ltd provides subsea pipeline inspection services for offshore operators requiring integrity assessment of unpiggable pipelines and subsea flowlines. Using Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) and ROV-enabled inspection systems, the service supports accurate wall thickness measurement, corrosion mapping and condition assessment of subsea pipeline infrastructure.

Our inspection methodology enables subsea evaluation through thick protective coatings without the need for field joint coating removal, reducing inspection-related integrity exposure and minimizing offshore intervention costs. Fairtex combines advanced subsea inspection technologies, ROV deployment capability and integrity-focused reporting to support offshore maintenance planning and lifecycle management.

Typical applications: unpiggable pipeline inspection, subsea corrosion monitoring, wall thickness assessment, offshore flowline inspection, integrity verification, corrosion mapping and ROV-assisted subsea inspection campaigns.

What this service covers

Acoustic Resonance Technology inspection

Fairtex utilizes Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART) for subsea pipeline inspection, enabling accurate inspection through subsea coatings while delivering high-resolution wall thickness measurements and corrosion mapping data for offshore pipelines and subsea flowlines.

ROV-enabled pipeline assessment

Inspection systems are deployed using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), allowing offshore inspection activities to be completed without extensive subsea intervention or coating removal. This approach supports efficient offshore inspection campaigns and reduces operational disruption.

Corrosion mapping and integrity evaluation

The service supports identification of wall loss, corrosion activity and integrity threats affecting subsea pipelines. Inspection outputs assist offshore operators with maintenance planning, integrity management and operational decision-making for critical subsea infrastructure.

Key Takeaways

  • Inspection capability for unpiggable subsea pipelines and offshore flowlines.
  • Acoustic Resonance Technology enables inspection through subsea coatings.
  • ROV-enabled deployment reduces integrity risk and offshore intervention requirements.
