At Dovaheights Energy, we understand the value of risk-based inspections and the importance on offshore facilities. However, accomplishing these inspections can be a challenge, particularly when the areas to be inspected are located in a harsh offshore environment, several meters underwater and covered in marine growth.
Dovaheights recognizes the critical importance of inspection, maintenance and ongoing integrity management of assets, and the need for continuous observation in order to maintain that structural integrity.
Our ROV Inspection and intervention services ensure accurate, detailed, timely, and inclusive information on each of your assets.
By providing comprehensive, concise and documented Inspection findings, our ROV services allow clients to make informed decisions on asset integrity management.
The Dovaheights ROV inspection Team, with its engineering background, has greatly broadened underwater inspection options by taking existing, proven ROV technology, integrating high specification and custom tooling, and developing progressive and novel methods and procedures to achieve underwater structural inspections that were hitherto not possible.
With a job history on several vessels of different structures, ranging from FPSOs to Fixed platforms, Dovaheights has successfully inspected it all.
We know what we are looking at, we know what we are looking for!
Dovaheights provides Underwater Inspections in Lieu of Dry-Docking (UWILD) and the underwater portions of In-Service Inspection Plans (ISIP). UWILD & ISIP ROV Inspections efficiently clean, observe and record the structural and operational integrity of a vessel throughout its operational life.
Since 2014, Dovaheights has pioneered the use of Mini-ROVs to complete Class Approved UWILDs and ISIPs on FPSO’s, FSOs, Jack-Ups, Fixed Platforms.
UWILDs are carried out while the vessels remains in full operation and production activities are not compromised.
Six years and several cost-effective Offshore Campaigns later, Dovaheights is the industry leader in Nigeria for ROV UWILDs having saved $Millions for offshore production and drilling clients.
All inspection and gauging campaigns are documented by means of 100% auditable video footage, time-stamped still photographs and a written report in the applicable Class Society required format. Dovaheights collects detailed hull thickness gauging information for diverse purposes, including:
- Intermediate and Special Survey Requirements
- Steel Renewal Estimates
- Dry-Dock Preparation
- Life Extension Studies
- Forensic Analysis
- Sale/Purchase Evaluations
- Damage Inspections
Suitable for Hull Structural CP Systems, Riser CP Systems, Pipeline CP Systems and more.
Dovaheights is able to deploy dual-barrier, mini-ROV deployed plugs and deployment procedures for all valve sizes (2” to 24”), that remove the need for divers, improve safety, significantly reduce cost and reduce and/or completely eliminate off-hire time.
Plug deployment allows safe removal, repair or replacement of sea-connection valves without the need for expensive dry-docking.
VideoRays have the industry-leading thrust–to-vehicle weight ratio and thus can handle more current than most work class ROVs in the shallow areas in which they are deployed.
