Explanation about Offshore pipeline inspection. equipment, diving, tools and more. The paper will discuss diving safety, practical considerations and methods for the subsea inspection of inshore pipelines. The author’s experience over many years as an internationally known diving engineer, maritime civil engineer and inshore pipelines engineer will be highlighted with several examples of inspections and designs for maintenance on wastewater outfalls, cooling water intakes/outlets and other marine structures. Having an engineer do a subsea pipeline inspection on (or even in) the pipeline, can make a huge difference to the impact of the report. The diving engineer has a knowledge of materials, structural analysis, pipeline hydraulics and is trained over many years in design and construction. Then a discussion on a wide variety of inspection techniques, some “tips ‘n tricks” and will precede a review of work experiences and a practical view of designing for maintenance together with a vision for the future. The hazards on subsea pipeline inspections are generally similar to those on any river or marine structure. As long as there is good access, the diver has plenty of air and the communications work, the dive should be a safe one. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT . Maintenance of the compressors and testing of cylinders and calibration of gauges should be a regular task. Diving Equipment - As a typical example the commercial diver would wear a dry suit, a safety harness (including lead weights). Diving Masks – There are only a limited number of companies specialising in mask design and manufacture. Some practical comments on those masks. DIVING OPERATIONS AND CONTROL, Pipe material and more.
