Along Australia’s coastline, many unmanned oil and gas platforms have reached the end of their operational lifecycle and require decommissioning. These structures are located in hazardous offshore environments, where access is difficult and safety risks are high.
Before allowing decommissioning crews on-site, our client needed a thorough safety and condition assessment focusing on critical elements such as:
Remote Access:
The platform could only be reached by boat, making traditional rope or scaffold inspections impractical.
Safety & Environmental Risks:
Both the remote marine environment and the degraded condition of the platform posed hazards for inspection crews.
RemSense conducted a high-definition drone inspection, launching the UAV directly from a vessel.
Key elements of the solution included:
By combining expert UAV operation with real-time client oversight, RemSense delivered an inspection solution that was fast, safe, and detailed, without requiring personnel to physically step onto the platform. This approach minimised operational risk, captured high-quality visual data, and provided actionable insights for planning the decommissioning phase efficiently.
