What is a Caisson Inspection?
The aim of a caisson inspection is to ensure structural integrity and operational safety. These inspections identify potential issues like corrosion or damage to the internal or external wall thickness, which might not be visible but can compromise safety.
Why is a Caisson Inspection Important?
Critical offshore structures exposed to harsh subsea environment can affect structural integrity. By detecting defects early, operators can reduce risks, plan maintenance proactively, and extend the lifespan of these vital offshore assets.
How Does AISUS Perform A Caisson Inspection?
AISUS combines advanced technology and precise processes for INTERNAL or EXTERNAL caisson inspections, to deliver comprehensive reports.
The Multi Stage Process for Internal or External Inspection includes:
- Preparation with High-Pressure Cleaning
- Remote Visual Inspection
- Ultrasonic Corrosion Mapping
- Analysis & Reporting
Discover the Guide below:
1. Preparation: High-Pressure Cleaning
Effective preparation is key. AISUS uses high-pressure cleaning systems to remove marine growth, ensuring optimal inspection results and minimising operational delays.
2. Remote Visual Inspection (RVI)
Deploying high-definition cameras with our remote inspection systems, AISUS conducts thorough visual inspections.
The captured images are stitched together, offering a virtual reality view of the caisson’s true condition.
3. Ultrasonic Corrosion Mapping
Utilising our internal or external inspection systems equipped with multiple probe arrays, AISUS performs ultrasonic testing to create detailed 3D corrosion maps.
This data provides precise wall thickness measurements, essential for maintenance planning.
4. Data Analysis & Reporting
Comprehensive reports from visual and ultrasonic inspections are integrated into AISUS’ advanced data management platform.
This ensures accurate internal or external defect sizing and allows operators to manage assets efficiently.
With AISUS’ expertise, operators gain reliable insights to safeguard their offshore infrastructure, improving safety and operational efficiency.
