Piranha designed this device from scratch
AND DELIVERED IT to Trinidad 4 weeks later,
where is was deployed for a tricky pipe
cladding inspection scheduled during the
riser refurbishment.
This is a battery powered portable surface scanner that gives
a live ‘X-ray style image showing the internal steel mesh
reinforcement embedded in the cladding of oil/gas pipes.
Quick checks can be made by a single inspector, which can
also be beamed live to the Lab team, helping to ensure the
integrity of flexible pipe risers….. and keeping the Oil in the
pipe, and away from the oceans.
In order to hit the tight
deadline we used RP
technology to build the
bespoke parts, and
incorporated a windows
Toughbook as the
screen/input/storage device.
The system functions by
electromagnetic
induction generated by
a bespoke multilayer
flexi-pcb developed by
Piranha and a team of
UMIST based
researchers.
