By leveraging excellent client relationships, Surface Corrosion Consultants Ltd has been agile in evolving the offering in line with demand and key to the recent awards has been the development of an industry-first breakthrough – the Degradation Forecasting Module (DFM). This enables better planning and cost efficiencies by forecasting when asset upgrading is required by painting an accurate picture from a topsides infrastructure perspective, on the levels of corrosion. Additionally, the software hugely minimises the risk of integrity failure by grading the condition of assets years into the future, leading to a planned and budgeted approach to inspection, repair and replacement.
