The Splash Zone Network
Now, engineers and professionals with an interest in splash zone challenges can stay updated on news, articles and events by OceanTech.
Splash zone operations, including the installation of anodes and clamps, modifications to risers and guides, and cutting and removal work, can be demanding without the proper equipment and expertise. OceanTech’s remotely operated robotic solutions perform splash zone operations beyond the capabilities of divers and ROVs. Leveraging our field-proven technology alongside advanced rope access and lifting methods simplifies these operations by reducing costs, enhancing safety, and minimising environmental impact.
Our robotic solutions are unaffected by wind, currents, and adverse weather, operating efficiently even in confined spaces. For modification projects, we manage all rigging and lifting activities, including creating lift plans and calculating suspension points as part of the scope of work. Modification services include:
We bring extensive and diverse experience, having completed over 70 projects across 50 installations globally.
Our modular approach, along with our technology's adaptability to diverse materials, geometries, and surface conditions, enables our access robots and tools to connect to any offshore asset or structure, including:
Cost savings
We offer cost savings by eliminating the need for divers, ROVs, or support vessels. Our robotic solutions reduce waiting times for weather windows, minimise downtime, guarantee predictable timelines for complex projects, and offer significantly lower daily rates compared to ROV operations.
Enhanced safety
Our robots and tools are operated from the topside, enabling unmanned operations near structures in confined spaces. This significantly enhances operational safety. We have achieved over 200,000 incident-free offshore work hours, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of our technology.
Reduced environmental impact
Our robots use existing infrastructure, allowing us to perform operations without the support vessels typically needed for divers and ROVs. This approach cuts emissions and lowers the risk of oil spills. Additionally, our ability to operate regardless of weather conditions decreases delays and reduces your environmental footprint.
OceanTech is a turnkey provider, managing all project interfaces to save our clients time and effort. Our integrated approach includes our unique Splash Zone Concept. In addition to our core solutions, we provide feasibility studies, design and engineering, planning and execution of intricate lifting operations, rental of ROV-tooling, and equipment testing at our Subsea Test Centre.
Our team is actively engaged in every project phase, from initial planning to implementation. We ensure each project is conducted safely, efficiently, and predictably with minimal handovers.
With two decades of expertise and over 70 successful splash zone projects worldwide, we understand the intricacies of subsea clamp installations. These projects demand meticulous planning and thorough preparation.
OceanTech's engineers boast a wealth of expertise in subsea clamp design and installations. Here is an insight into our work processes, tools, and techniques.
An OceanTech engineering team developed rigging and lifting methods for a successful installation of 725 sacrificial anodes across 67 assets at the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm. This helps prevent internal galvanic corrosion inside transition pieces, saving Equinor time and money in asset maintenance.
