Sonomatic were approached by a client to perform Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) planning on 53 vessels, as NII offers the potential to remove vessels from shutdowns and inspection may be completed whilst online. This can reduce shutdown times and increase production revenue.
NII PLANNING IMPROVES SHUTDOWN EFFICIENCY
PROCESS
To aid efficiency, Sonomatic automated relevant portions of our reporting process and adapted our in-house SIMS software to produce process and work scope diagrams as part of the NII planning process.
NII assessments and work scopes were completed according to the NII recommended practice, of which Sonomatic were key developers.
OUTCOME & CLIENT FEEDBACK
All reports were delivered within a three month deadline and provided options for removing multiple vessels from an upcoming shutdown.
