Services
Flexible Riser Design
Flexlife delivers tailored flexible riser design and specification services, leveraging proprietary software and databases to balance performance with cost efficiency. Our engineers, with over 100 years of combined experience, provide concept studies, fatigue assessments, and system analysis to optimize riser configurations. We ensure compliance with industry standards while reducing procurement and installation costs by up to 50% through service-specific designs.
Integrity Management
Our integrity management programme uses patented technologies like FlexScan and FlexScout to assess riser annulus conditions and detect defects. By combining ultrasonic testing and visual inspections, we provide definitive data to extend asset lifespans and prevent failures. This proactive approach ensures regulatory compliance and operational safety for offshore operators globally.
Annulus Testing
Flexlifes FlexScout technology revolutionized annulus testing with positive pressure methods, delivering conclusive subsea data even in challenging environments. Our portable equipment enables rapid deployment, ensuring accurate assessments of riser integrity and reducing downtime. This service is critical for operators seeking reliable insights into asset conditions.
Corrosion Mitigation
Our FlexGel and Armadillo solutions mitigate splash zone corrosion and repair outer sheath breaches in flexible risers. These patented products displace seawater and form protective barriers, extending asset life without costly replacements. Designed for restricted access areas, they ensure long-term integrity in harsh offshore environments.
Fatigue Assessment
Using advanced software like OrcaFlex and BFlex, Flexlife conducts fatigue assessments to model riser behavior under dynamic loads. Our analyses identify high-stress areas and recommend design adjustments to enhance durability. This service helps operators optimize maintenance schedules and avoid premature failures in critical assets.
