Oceaneering Announces a New Cloud-Based Corrosion Monitoring System: TRND

September 28, 2018 — Houston, Texas — Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) today announced a new interactive cloud-based corrosion and erosion analysis system for inspection requirements called TRND.

The TRND system is a technological collaboration that combines Oceaneering’s expertise in developing a wide range of inspection technologies and tools with Ionix Advanced Technologies’ (“Ionix”) high-temperature HotSense™ platform and Inductosense Limited’s (“Inductosense”) battery-free Wireless and Non Destructive, or WAND, technology.

Espen Ingerbretsen, Oceaneering’s Vice President Business Development for Asset Integrity, said, “We are proud to be partnering with Ionix and Inductosense on this innovative corrosion monitoring solution. The TRND system will provide our customers with a remote, cost-effective condition monitoring service that can reduce the investment in additional infrastructure and hardware.”

Within minutes of installation, operators can acquire quantitative wall thickness data, which may be remotely analyzed and reported through a cloud-based data management system. Measuring less than 1.2 kilograms total mass, the TRND system can be retrospectively installed and implemented within the harshest of environments and deployed anywhere including elbows and via rope access.

The system’s reduced profile enables retrofit installation to existing assets under insulation. This means that there is no disruption to weatherproofing, providing internal pipe corrosion/metal loss monitoring and integrity inspection services without the need to remove cladding, and therefore maintaining the integrity of Corrosion Under Insulation (“CUI”) defenses.

For hazardous environments, the TRND system offers intrinsically safe ultrasonic thickness measurements in Zone 0 explosive environments up to 350 degrees Celsius (660 degrees Fahrenheit).

Company page Since our founding in the early 1960s, Oceaneering has expanded and grown globally to service several industries such as the offshore energy industry, defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries. In 1964, Mike Hughes and Johnny Johnson formed a Gulf of Mexico diving company called World Wide Divers. The company grew in response to increasing demand for their services and in 1969 merged with two other diving companies to form Oceaneering International, Inc. To solve the toughest challenges, we do things differently, creatively, and smarter. As your trusted partner, our unmatched experience and truly innovative portfolio of technologies and solutions give us the flexibility to adapt and evolve, regardless of market conditions. Our mission is to solve the unsolvable. We thrive by creating industry-changing technically creative solutions for the most complex operational challenges under water, on land, and in space. Our five core values establish a common culture and demonstrate what is most important for us as a company. Since the beginning, the company has transformed from a small regional diving company into a global provider of engineered products and services. Today, we develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also serve the aerospace, defense, and theme park industries. Underpinning everything we do, safety is not only the foundation of our core values, but it is vital to our unmatched performance record and company culture. The industries we serve are as diverse as they are complex. Whether we are engineering deepwater umbilicals or developing robotics for aerospace applications, the safety and health of our employees, vendors, and customers is an integral part of our day-to-day business. If we are working, then our responsibility is to be working safely. Since our inception in 1964, we have placed a high value on employee safety—from diving services and subsea inspection to vessel-based installation operations. We have and will continue to evolve not only our health, safety, and environmental (HSE) processes, but those of the industries in which we work. Although we have been fatality-free since 1999, our HSE journey goes beyond statistics. As our portfolio of services has grown, we have continued to prioritize and advance our approach to HSE.
