SURF pre-commissioning and decommissioning services
Fairtex Group provides integrated pre-commissioning and decommissioning services for subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) supporting offshore production facilities, FPSOs and subsea production systems. Our services verify the mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and structural integrity of newly installed or decommissioned offshore infrastructure prior to operational startup or abandonment activities.
Using specialized pumping, flushing, testing and pigging systems, Fairtex delivers offshore pre-commissioning operations designed to improve operational readiness, reduce commissioning risks and support lifecycle integrity management of subsea production assets. Our capabilities also support environmentally compliant offshore decommissioning and recovery activities.
Typical applications: riser hydrotesting, flowline flushing, subsea pigging, leak testing, dewatering, umbilical line testing, subsea recovery, offshore decommissioning and FPSO commissioning support.
