Offshore Inspection – Oceaneering

The JME portable X-Ray Betatron 7.5MeV is designed to produce high energy ionising radiation for industrial radiographic non-destructive testing.  It can penetrate 30 centimeters of steel or 1 metre of concrete.  Case study provided by JME Advanced Inspection Systems.

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

In January 2016, a client approached Oceaneering for a nondestructive testing (NDT) method that would be suitable for use on two risers in the North Sea. Each of the risers had significant external corrosion scale, also known as scabs – prompting the need for verification of the risers’ integrity. The goal was to extend the production timeline for the main oil line (MOL), which has a 24inch outside diameter (OD), and the gas producer, with a 20inch OD.  The client required another year’s service from the risers in order to align the completion of its necessary repairs with the next planned turnaround.

Offshore Betatron in Association with Axess Group

The JME portable X-Ray Betatron 7.5MeV is designed to produce high energy ionising radiation for industrial radiographic non-destructive testing.  It can penetrate 30 centimeters of steel or 1 metre of concrete.  Case study provided by JME Advanced Inspection Systems.

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

It was identified that part of a heavy wall pipe, in relation to an offshore wellhead, failed/collapsed during a routine drilling operation. Additionally, a drilling tool had become lodged inside the tubing due to a breakage and is stuck in the well.

Bridge Inspection Using the JME Betatron System

The JME portable X-Ray Betatron 7.5MeV is designed to produce high energy ionising radiation for industrial radiographic non-destructive testing.  It can penetrate 30 centimeters of steel or 1 metre of concrete.  Case study provided by JME Advanced Inspection Systems.

 

In March 2019, JME were tasked with supporting an inspection company in Italy to perform X-Rays of a road bridge in an area notorious for earthquakes. After the Morandi bridge collapse in Genoa in 2018, large scale discussions took place to determine the extent of the potential problems other structures could face as a result of an increase in pollution, corrosion, vehicle traffic, geological factors and poor maintenance schedules.
