Pipetech, mobilised in August 2017 and to clean the inner walls of sounding pipework running to ballast tanks on board the FPF1 floating production platform. During this mobilisation, Pipetech successfully cleaned sounding lines SB11, SB14 and SB15.
On completion of this work scope, Pipetech were requested to complete a detailed site survey to clean all 27 sounding lines on board FPF1. We mobilised 3 personnel on the 19th of March 2018 to carry out cleaning and unblocking of 27 sounding lines on board the FPF1.
Aqua Milling® technology was chosen as the preferred solution for this work scope. Camera inspection was also used for each line to assess depth and quality. A post general visual camera inspections and sounding tape was used after Aqua Milling to confirm each line was cleaned.
