Sonardyne, AMOG sign subsea asset monitoring MoU

Underwater technology specialist Sonardyne has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with international advanced engineering company AMOG to provide a complete subsea asset monitoring service to offshore energy infrastructure operators.

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

This includes using Sonardyne’s new Observer wireless intelligent subsea asset integrity monitoring solution, with high and low-frequency motion monitoring capability alongside third-party sensor integration and internal edge analytics.

The partners are already working on a near real time mooring monitoring system for a European floating offshore wind project.

Dr. Hayden Marcollo, is Director at AMOG, a global specialist in moorings and vortex induced vibration engineering and analysis.

He says: “Combining high quality subsea data, processes at source on Observer, with advanced engineering assessments, 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.”

The system is also applicable in floating offshore wind and the partners are already working on a near real time mooring monitoring system for a European floating offshore wind project.

TL;DR

Sonardyne and AMOG have signed an MoU to combine Sonardyne’s subsea monitoring, positioning and communications technology with AMOG’s engineering assessment expertise. The aim is to give offshore energy operators clearer, near-real-time insight into critical subsea assets, helping reduce downtime, support maintenance decisions and extend asset life. The partnership will focus on floating offshore wind, oil and gas moorings, pipelines and risers, and is already being applied to a European floating offshore wind mooring monitoring project.
