INSPECTION MANAGEMENT
Inspection Management forms an important step in the Asset Integrity service whereby it provides
inspection programs, first level integrity evaluation and manages the inspection data sets.
Inspection programs are developed from the integrity strategy and/or from the maintenance management inspection routines.
These programs take the form of long term, medium term and short term forward plans, work-packs for the activity sets to
be undertaken and site support functions required to perform the work-scopes.
Work is then executed in the field by selecting the correct resources, briefing technicians as to the inspection requirements
prior to deployment, on-going communication during execution, evaluating reports and finally de-briefing the inspection
teams on completion.
First level evaluation of the inspection results are carried out by our Inspection or Corrosion Engineers to provide an
assessment of integrity and fitness for purpose and the development of any remedial actions required. If inspection
results are outwith the set tolerances then the results are escalated to the appropriate integrity support teams.
Effective Data Management is key to ensuring archiving and retrieval of data and other relevant records. The
Oceaneering suite of integrity software provided under the ACET brand name provides this assurance together
with the ability to trend data sets as required.
Reporting of inspection results is provided as either trend reports, anomaly notifications or formal reviews on
asset performance.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Conventional and Specialist Non-Destructive Testing
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and
evaluating flaws in materials. Flaws can affect the serviceability of the material or structure, so NDT is important
in assuring safe operation as well as quality control and assessing plant life. The flaws may be cracks or
inclusions in welds and castings, or variations in structural properties that can lead to loss of strength or
failure in service. The essential feature of NDT is that the test process itself produces no deleterious effects
on the material or structure under test.
Oceaneering supply multi skilled and experienced engineers certified to the appropriate requirements
of all NDT disciplines relating to conventional and specialist techniques. Our NDT services are available
for either new build or in-service applications and include:

VENDOR AUDITS
he purpose of these audits (prior to Purchase Order Award), is to verify that vendors and their sub-vendors appear to be capable of fulfilling the requirements of the
T
purchase order.
Vendor Inspection ensures full compliance during the manufacture stage of all high value plant and equipment V
endor
Inspection ensures full compliance during the manufacture stage of all high value plant and equipment including:
pumps, pipes, vessels and valves. This ensures that each stage of the clients purchase order requirements are fully
satisfied before the material or equipment leaves the suppliers premises, therefore resulting in minimum potential
for production outages and the subsequent threat to safety, asset integrity and legislative compliance.
