Riser Inspection
Service Description
We provide riser inspection services focused on structural integrity, fatigue risk, and corrosion monitoring. Our work supports asset integrity teams in identifying early signs of degradation or misalignment across flexible risers, clamps, and riser support systems.
Every inspection is carried out by trained personnel using subsea-certified Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) tools, photographic and video documentation, and structured procedures aligned with class and operator requirements.

Riser Inspection for Floating Assets
Riser systems on turret/turret-moored or side-connected FPSOs are exposed to constant dynamic loading, splash zone wear, and movement-induced stress. SubseaPartner supports operators with targeted inspection campaigns that confirm structural health and ensure class compliance.
We inspect:
- Flexible risers and their dynamic supports
- Termination assemblies and turret interface points
- Clamps, fairleads, hang-offs, and midwater arches
- Bend stiffeners and fatigue-prone transition zones
Our riser inspection techniques include:
- Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
- Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) for steel riser sections
- Visual Inspection (GVI & CVI) with HD video and photo capture
- Cathodic Protection (CP) potential readings and anode assessments
- Splash zone monitoring and clamp condition verification
All inspections are supported by pre-job risk assessments, operational planning, and post-job reporting packages suitable for classification societies and operator records.
Riser inspections can be scheduled as:
- Class survey requirements during SPS windows
- Routine risk-based inspection intervals
- Diagnostic scopes following reported movement, dropped objects, or fatigue concerns
If your FPSO risers require condition verification, SubseaPartner delivers detailed, compliant inspections without disrupting production or requiring retrieval.
Operational Scenario
Real Results: Class-Verified Riser Inspection Delivered Offshore.
Challenge
Fatigue concerns identified on splash zone clamps ahead of scheduled class renewal.
Solution
SubseaPartner performed full riser inspection using ACFM and UTM, documenting clamp and support integrity.
Outcome
No replacement required, documentation cleared class review, production unaffected.
