Subsea grout integrity assessment system
03/04/2024
TSC Subsea has launched ART GUIDE (Acoustic Resonance Technology Grout Underwater Inspection Delivery), an innovative solution that the company claims is set to revolutionise the assessment of grouted connections on offshore structures.
ART GUIDE has been specifically developed to detect and confirm the presence of grouting while also identifying potential failures that may have occurred over time. By utilising advanced detection mechanisms, this cost-effective and efficient inspection method is designed to pinpoint voids, crushing, cracks and disbonding behind pile sleeves, thereby enhancing the integrity assessment of subsea grouting connections.
Setting itself apart from other solutions on the market, ART GUIDE is said to be the only technology capable of assessing grout integrity from the external surface of the pile’s sleeve, focusing on the most critical zone susceptible to failures. This breakthrough approach delivers exceptional performance and accuracy, positioning ART GUIDE as a game-changer across various sectors, including offshore platforms, fixed offshore wind installations and more.
The key strength of ART GUIDE lies in its ability to proactively inspect grouted connections on offshore structures, enabling operators to swiftly address issues and minimise downtime. By ensuring the safety and integrity of subsea infrastructure, ART GUIDE empowers organisations to mitigate risks and optimise operations.
