Underwater technology specialist Sonardyne has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with international advanced engineering company AMOG to provide a complete subsea asset monitoring service to offshore energy infrastructure operators.
The partnership will combine Sonardyne’s trusted underwater monitoring, positioning and communication technologies and AMOG’s industry-leading engineering assessment expertise to unlock asset insight, reduce downtime and enable life extension, for floating offshore wind and oil and gas moorings, as well as pipelines and risers.
This includes using Sonardyne’s new Observer wireless intelligent subsea asset integrity monitoring solution, with high and low-frequency motion monitoring capability alongside third-party sensor integration and internal edge analytics.
The partners are already working on a near real time mooring monitoring system for a European floating offshore wind project.
Dr. Hayden Marcollo, Director at AMOG, is a global specialist in moorings and vortex induced vibration engineering and analysis.
He says: “Combining high quality subsea data, processes at source on Observer, with advanced engineering assessments, will provide asset owners with more actionable, near-real-time insight into the condition and behaviour of critical subsea infrastructure through a single solution.
“For operators, this could support earlier detection of anomalies, improved understanding of loads and motions, and more informed decisions around inspection, maintenance and integrity management, as well as asset longevity, in one end-to-end solution.”
The system is also applicable in floating offshore wind and the partners are already working on a near real time mooring monitoring system for a European floating offshore wind project.
“By integrating on-demand and long term monitoring data from subsea environments with engineering models and analytics, there’s an opportunity to provide a more complete picture of asset performance—whether supporting day to day operations, integrity assurance or life extension strategies,” adds Frank Rose, Business Development Manager, Sonardyne.
“By working alongside AMOG, we’re exploring how data and engineering assessments can come together to give operators greater confidence in the way their subsea assets are performing, today and over the long term,” adds Rose.”
