Case Study
Civa modelling of the inspection of selected welds of an offshore mooring structure.
www.sonomatic.com Case Study Design Project Figure 3: Figure 1: Figure 2: Project: Civa modelling of the inspection of selected welds of an offshore mooring structure. Problem: An inspection was planned to provide assurance the integrity of selected welds around nozzles (see Figure 1 for example) on an offshore mooring structure. Sonomatic were approached in order to determine whether weld flaws, with potential to impact on integrity, could be detected using automated ultrasonic inspection techniques from the exterior surface of the mooring. Benefits: The analysis determined the inspection approach with the greatest likelihood of detecting each flaw without the need for constructing expensive inspection sam
