OVERVIEW
During technical expertise, Marex conducts thorough inspections of both underwater and atmospheric infrastructures to ensure their safety and durability. Here’s a detailed overview of our main interventions:
UNDERWATER INTERVENTIONS
Visual Inspection
-
Visual evaluation of the condition of underwater infrastructures, structures, and equipment.
-
Use of underwater cameras to document conditions.
Bathymetric Measurements
-
Mapping the seabed to identify depth variations and submerged objects.
Corrosion Assessment
-
Testing and analysis to identify corrosion on metal structures.
-
Measurement of wall and component thicknesses.
Biofouling Assessment
-
Inspection of structures to detect biofouling (marine organisms adhering to surfaces).
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
-
Use of ultrasound, radiography, and magnetic techniques to detect cracks, defects, or anomalies without damaging structures.
Mooring System Integrity Check
-
Verification of anchoring and mooring systems.
ROV Drone Inspection
-
Use of remotely operated vehicles to inspect hard-to-reach or dangerous areas
Submarine Outfall Inspection
-
Verification of underwater discharge pipelines to detect obstructions or leaks.
ATMOSPHERIC INTERVENTIONS
Visual Inspection
Visual examination of aerial structures to detect defects or damage.
Aerial Drone Inspection (UAV)
Use of drones to inspect hard-to-reach areas such as roofs, chimneys, or large structures.
Vibration Monitoring
Measurement of vibrations to detect anomalies or structural weaknesses.
Corrosion Analysis
Identification and assessment of corrosion on metal structures exposed to air.
Load and Resistance Tests
Application of controlled loads to verify structural resistance and integrity.
Coating and Paint Assessment
Inspection of protective coatings to detect degradation and evaluate effectiveness.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Use of techniques such as ultrasound, X-rays, and magnetic testing to detect structural defects.
Erosion Assessment
Inspection of exposed surfaces to assess erosion due to atmospheric elements.
Access Safety Check
Verification of ladders, platforms, and anchorage points to ensure worker safety.
SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS
Tank, Reservoir, and Cistern Inspection
Verification of the integrity of storage tanks.
Pipeline and Conduit Inspection
Verification of pipelines and conduits to detect leaks, obstructions, or corrosion.
