FLANGE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

INTRODUCING THE PLIANT OFFSHORE FMS

Flange Measurement has been developed for fast, safe and accurate generation of as built measurements of mono piles. Pliant Offshore specializes in high tech vision solutions with the highest achievable accuracy. Avoid time loss due to bent and damaged bolt holes with our Flange Measurement system.

Flange Measurement System has proven in various situations to be able to withstand the harshest weather conditions and is able to assess the flange during these weather conditions. Not only is the FMS used by large offshore companies, Pliant is continuously working with these companies to develop even better solutions.

details

Robust

The FMS is built using only high-grade offshore-proof materials to ensure durability. The device is built to withstand the harsh offshore conditions.

safety

Eliminates the need of personnel on the flange.

plug&play

The FMS is a remote operated device. Once lifted on the flange, a simple start with the remote control is all that is needed to start the measurement sequence. After the measurements are performed a report is automatically generated.

Non-Destructive Measurement

Precision measurements of ovality, flatness, inclination and direction of the monopile will be available within 15 minutes after starting the measurements.

Landing assist

The FMS is equipped with a landing assistance functionality. RGB cameras are mounted on each of the legs enabling the operator to have a clear view while stabbing the tool. The FMS is also equipped with protective bumpers to minimalize contact with the flange.

Visual debris inspection

FMS is equipped with a RGB camera to inspect the surface of the flange for any debris.

Water removal

The integrated water removal will ensure that water won’t interfere with the measurement. The water removal fans are also capable of removing most of the visual debris from the flange.

System accuracy

Table 1 System accuracy

Disclaimer: This is optimal system performance. Specific situation, monopile tolerances and application on a monopile will affect the accuracies.

* Relative to the flange center
‡ Using GPS and all bolt hole center positions
‡‡ Using MRU and plane through all flatness position measurements
‡‡‡ Low tension on the driving belt reduces positioning accuracy on the flange reference line
