Sonardyne, a specialist in underwater technology, has signed a MoU with international advanced engineering company, AMOG, to provide a complete subsea asset monitoring service for offshore energy infrastructure operators.

The partnership will combine Sonardyne’s underwater monitoring, positioning and communication technologies, with AMOG’s engineering assessment expertise to unlock asset insight, reduce downtime and enable life extension. The partnership will cover floating offshore wind and oil and gas moorings, as well as pipelines and risers.

The collaboration effort will include use of Sonardyne’s Observer wireless intelligent subsea asset integrity monitoring solutions.

Dr. Hayden Carcollo, Director of AMOG, said, “Combining high quality subsea data, processes at source on Observer, with advanced engineering assessment, will provide asset owners with more actionable, near real-time insight into the condition and behaviour of critical subsea infrastructure through a single solution.

“For operators, this could support earlier detection of anomalies, improved understanding of loads and motions, and more informed decisions around inspection, maintenance and integrity management, as well as asset longevity, in one end-to-end solution.”

Frank Rose, Business Development Manager at Sonardyne, commented, “By integrating on-demand and long-term monitoring data from subsea environments with engineering models and analytics, there is an opportunity to provide a more complete picture of asset performance – whether supporting day-to-day operations, integrity assurance or life extension strategies. By working alongside AMOG, we’re exploring how data and engineering assessments can come together to give operators greater confidence in the way their subsea assets are performing, today and over the long term.”
