THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Applus+ in Australia have designed and developed a variety of non-hydraulic, universal, automated inspection scanners to perform a variety of subsea NDT services at depths of up to 2500m.
 
Our scanners produce subsea inspection resolutions of 1.0mm on both X and Y axes. The scanners Applus+ uses for subsea inspections also contain a platform that allows a number of inspection methods to be used, such as integrated cleaning, ultra-high-resolution A, B and C-scans, time of flight, VT inspection, laser inspection, ACFM, or a combination of inspection tools through the use of custom-built NDT inspection systems. All designs are light, easy and practical to install internally or externally, either by diver or simple ROV hook-up with most ROV suppliers.

TARGET CUSTOMERS
Certain pipelines and assets need pipeline integrity assessments while in operation to monitor the in-service performance of the welds and materials. A typical example is the validation of intelligent pigging data. This type of pipeline inspection requires ultra-high-resolution imaging during corrosion inspection and monitoring
to detect material loss and pitting.
