Underwater Structural Integrity Assessments
Reliable Data for Informed Decisions
With over 25 years of expertise, Atlantas Marine delivers precise, non-destructive testing to assess the integrity of your subsea infrastructure. Our advanced inspection techniques provide the critical data you need to make informed maintenance decisions, ensuring safety, compliance, and long-term asset reliability.
Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Measurement
Subsea structures, ship hulls, and offshore platforms are continuously exposed to harsh environments that lead to gradual material loss. Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Measurement is a non-destructive testing method that evaluates metal thickness to detect internal corrosion, erosion, or structural weakening. By using high-frequency sound waves, UT measurement provides accurate data on material integrity without requiring direct access to both sides of a structure. This method is essential for assessing aging infrastructure, ensuring continued operational safety, and maintaining compliance with industry regulations.
Â
- Prevents structural failures – Identifies thinning metal before it compromises asset integrity.
- Non-destructive method – Provides accurate thickness readings without damaging components.
- Supports predictive maintenance – Helps operators schedule repairs before failures occur.
- Ensures compliance – Meets industry requirements for regular corrosion monitoring.
Flooded Member Detection (FMD)
When water infiltrates hollow structural members such as platform legs or subsea risers, it can severely impact stability and structural integrity. Flooded Member Detection (FMD) identifies water ingress using ultrasonic or gamma-ray technology, allowing operators to determine whether a structure has retained its designed buoyancy or if flooding has compromised its strength. Early detection of water intrusion prevents further degradation and enables targeted maintenance strategies that keep offshore assets secure and operational.
Â
- Prevents structural instability – Identifies compromised members before they become a safety risk.
- Non-invasive detection – Uses ultrasonic or gamma-ray technology without requiring physical access.
- Reduces maintenance costs – Allows targeted repairs instead of expensive full-scale replacements.
- Improves asset longevity – Ensures subsea structures maintain their designed strength over time.
Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM)
Cracks in underwater metal structures can develop over time due to stress, fatigue, and environmental exposure. Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) is a non-destructive inspection method used to detect surface and near-surface cracks in metal components. By inducing an alternating current and measuring distortions in the resulting electromagnetic field, ACFM accurately identifies defects without the need for extensive surface cleaning. This method provides precise, digital records of crack locations and sizes, making it an effective tool for long-term structural monitoring.
Â
- Detects cracks early – Identifies surface and near-surface defects before they expand.
- Minimal preparation needed – Works without requiring extensive cleaning of the surface.
- Digital tracking – Provides electronic records for ongoing asset condition monitoring.
- Reduces operational disruption – Can be performed without taking structures out of service.
Why work with us?
Expert Underwater Inspection Solutions You Can Rely On
Explore the benefits of working with Atlantas Marine for your inspection needs—leveraging advanced ROV technology, industry expertise, and comprehensive services to deliver accurate, efficient, and safe inspections for assets across various marine sectors.
Advanced ROV Technology
Atlantas Marine uses state-of-the-art ROVs equipped with high-definition cameras, advanced sonar systems, and precision manipulators to perform comprehensive underwater inspections. Our ROVs can capture real-time data with exceptional clarity, providing detailed imagery and 3D mapping, even in challenging underwater conditions.
This allows us to conduct thorough inspections of critical infrastructure, such as pipelines, offshore platforms, and subsea cables, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.
Increased Safety
By utilising ROVs for inspections, we eliminate the risks associated with using human divers in hazardous environments. Our ROVs can operate at depths and in conditions that are dangerous or inaccessible to divers, including high-pressure, low-visibility, and contaminated water environments.
This ensures that inspections are carried out safely, without compromising on quality, and reduces the risks to human life.
Comprehensive Reporting
Our inspection services come with detailed, actionable reports that provide a full overview of the findings. These reports include high-resolution images, video footage, and 3D models, as well as data from sonar systems and other sensors. With clear insights and recommendations, we help clients make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, and compliance.
The comprehensive nature of our reporting ensures that no detail is missed and that clients have all the information they need.
Expertise Across Sectors
With experience spanning multiple sectors—including oil & gas, offshore renewables, defence, marine research, and environmental monitoring—Atlantas Marine understands the unique challenges and requirements of each industry. Our expertise allows us to tailor our inspection services to meet the specific needs of your sector, ensuring that we provide relevant, industry-specific insights.
Whether it’s inspecting offshore wind turbine foundations or subsea pipelines, we deliver services that align with your operational goals.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Our ROV-based inspection services are a cost-effective alternative to traditional diver-led inspections. By using advanced technology, we reduce the need for manual intervention, lowering labor costs and minimising the risk of human error. Additionally, our efficient inspections mean faster results, saving both time and money while delivering high-quality data.
This approach is ideal for clients looking to optimise their operational budgets without compromising on the quality of their inspections.
