Services
V-LIM
V-LIM provides continuous, high-precision monitoring of insulation resistance and capacitance in subsea electrical systems. This technology detects early degradation trends, enabling proactive maintenance to prevent failures. Operators gain real-time insights into system health, reducing costly reactive repairs while extending asset lifespan through data-driven decision-making.
V-LIFE
V-LIFE offers intervention-free insulation resistance recovery for subsea cables affected by water ingress. By applying a patented electro-kinetic process, it restores insulation integrity without physical intervention. This solution prevents production halts and avoids expensive cable replacements, ensuring long-term operational reliability for offshore assets.
CableGuardian
CableGuardian delivers proactive fault detection and location for railway signalling power systems. It continuously monitors live networks at cable-section level, reducing manual testing requirements. The system identifies faults with 98% accuracy, minimising train delays while supporting Network Rail's condition-based maintenance standards.
V-SLIM
V-SLIM provides distributed electrical integrity monitoring for subsea distribution networks. Installed directly within underwater systems, it detects insulation degradation locally before failures occur. When combined with V-LIFE, it enables remote fault recovery, significantly reducing intervention costs and unplanned downtime.
SSTDR S100
SSTDR S100 offers live cable fault detection and location for industrial, aerospace, and rail applications. This credit-card-sized module identifies open/short circuits and intermittent faults with 98% distance accuracy. It supports predictive maintenance by collecting baseline data to prevent unexpected outages across diverse electrical systems.
