North Sea operator, Apache, is leading the way in deploying innovative digital inspection technology developed by engineering consultancy firm Arup, and EnerMech subsidiary MInteg, to improve safety and reduce asset inspection costs on offshore platforms.
Apache’s adoption of the Arup Inspect MInteg inspection service on the Beryl Alpha platform has significantly reduced offshore inspection hours of the topside structure whilst enhancing the quality and availability of inspection data.
The innovative digital service replaces high-risk offshore working-at-height inspection methods with the application of remote visual inspection tools. It also enables operators and asset owners to access their interactive inspection data 24/7 and make informed decisions about asset repair, replacements or improvements.
