CONDITION MONITORING
NEW INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE OFFERING
Xodus Group has formed a partnership with Green Marine to launch an integrated service for the maintenance of offshore renewable assets
LIFECYCLE APPROACH The lifecycle approach will utilise Xodus’ integrity management software tool XAMIN to capture and monitor live data from offshore marine assets with Green Marine providing the physical offshore inspection and repair services.
The one-stop solution aims to streamline an asset’s performance, providing efficiencies and preventing downtime, in particular targeting offshore wind, tidal and wave energy devices, cabling and associated infrastructure.
GREAT POTENTIAL
Wim van der Zande, CEO of Xodus Group explained: “We believe XAMIN has great potential for renewable projects as it will improve the visibility of integrity issues and the partnership with Green Marine means that any anomalies can be inspected and dealt with before they grow into a major issue.
The renewables sector can learn lessons from the oil & gas industry where poor data management causes problems when identifying component condition or proving life extension.”
Green Marine (UK) Ltd operates a fleet of eight vessels and barges and provides safe installation, removal and maintenance of a wide range of wind, tidal & wave energy devices and gravity bases.
GAP IN THE MARKET Jason Schofield, Managing Director of Green Marine commented: “We believe there is a gap in the market for a truly joined up integrity maintenance service and our partnership with Xodus will deliver efficiencies with significant positive impacts for the management and monitoring of subsea marine assets. We can help operators gain a better understanding of their components and also reduce risk, cost and downtime.”
HOW IT WORKS
XAMIN allows operators to capture design, installation, testing, operating, inspection and decommissioning information in a single system; reducing data losses, increasing efficiency of access and improving visibility of integrity issues.
It is built around an asset hierarchy, allowing all data to be tagged to the appropriate component, which allows cross referencing. Within the operational phase XAMIN can collate all information being measured on the asset and cross reference to allow a complete picture of operability and integrity to be viewed. Once collated, data can be used to benchmark design assumptions and reduce safety margins or increase field life.
