ROVS ROV Focus
The target for the Offshore Wind Sector in the years to come is clear and simple, drive down the cost of energy, while maintaining a high level of safety in every operation.
Progress is being made not only in the UK but across Europe. As part of this drive, companies are working more collaboratively and jointly focusing on cost and efficiency improvements, investing in new technology in order to speed the pace of cost reduction. SubC Partner has been working in the offshore sector for many years, carrying out subsea operations across the entire North Sea for major operators.
EXPANSION – PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
With the aim of maximising operational efficiency and delivering stronger business cases to its clients, reducing projects costs and optimising capital returns, the company has steadily strengthened its fleet of state-of-the-art Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in terms of units and subsea capability and plans further expansion in the years ahead.
The strategy has brought early successes and the company has been carrying out various ROV campaigns in UK, Denmark and Germany.
INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS With ingenuity and a significant engineering effort, a wide variety of tools and applications have been integrated in the ROV platforms, expanding the possibilities for diverless intervention. Recent examples being NDT applications as ACFM , ultrasonic gauges, cathodic protection probes, blue view sonars and tools for cavitation cleaning, drilling and cutting to name a few.
Operators have welcomed the deployment in the field of ROV cost effective spreads and are now more actively seeking suitable subsea application areas for their deployment.
CASE STUDIES
Recent case studies would include… • Surveys/general inspections • Non-destructive testing (ACFM, Ultra Sound, Eddy Currents)
• Anode inspection and replacement • CP measurement • Marine growth removal • Airlifting • Cutting and welding • Lost objects recovery • Cables free span measurement
This list is not exhaustive and will undoubtedly grow with accelerated ROV deployments.
CLIENT-SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP IMPORTANCE
The nature of future subsea engineering challenges necessitates a close and collaborative client-supplier relationship, thus enabling early stakeholder engagement, application simulation/ onshore trialing and the development/ deployment of smart ROV solutions.
Through such relationships SubC is and other suppliers shall be, able to further improve the cost effectiveness of offshore wind and together contribute to making wind a dominant energy source alongside oil and gas.
