Flexible risers are complex pipes whose integrity depends on several factors.
One key element is the early detection of annulus flooding.
With this in mind, we at InnetiQs have developed the FADS (Flooded Annulus Detection System).
FADS provides high-resolution ultrasonic scan data to support the detection of annulus flooding in flexible risers, even under deep-sea conditions. Precise positioning and repeatable scans enable meaningful comparative inspections and robust integrity assessments.
Our post highlights four key features of the FADS crawler, focusing on detection capability, scan resolution, positioning accuracy and underwater applicability.
