THE PROBLEM A large Engineering Procurement Installation and Construction (EPIC) contractor required a system to monitor tension during the installation of multiple Free Standing Hybrid Risers (FSHR) on a deepwater development in West Africa. Pulse provided a tension monitoring system based on strain gauge sensors linked to data loggers with ROV readable subsea displays. THE SOLUTION ? Assembly of four strain gauges per FSHR ? Data loggers with ROV readable subsea displays ? Pulse proprietary water sealing packaging ? System installation and offshore commissioning. THE RESULT ? Real-time tension feedback enabling up-thrust given by each buoyancy can compartment to be monitored during installation ? Robust and field-proven components provide consistently accurate data ?
