In this spotlight session, we will be reviewing some of the topics raised in Online Electronics’ recent article for World Pipelines, entitled ‘Precommissioning: ticking every box’, written by Carey Aiken.

The article, published in the June 2021 issue of World Pipelines, explains how the utilisation of monitoring, testing and logging technologies at each stage of the precommissioning of a subsea pipeline can provide assurance, mitigate risks and ensure that vessel time and schedule is maintained. Online Electronics Limited has been supporting subsea pipeline operators and contractors for 25 years with technology designed to provide and collate the necessary data at each of the precommissioning stages explored in the article.

The article outlines flooding and cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting and dewatering operations and looks at ways to collect and analyse job data, in order to provide assurance that the pipeline is fit for being put into service.
