Subsea Testing Tools Delivered for Subsea Construction Project in Brazil

C-Kore Systems has announced the recent delivery of the company’s automated subsea testing tools for a large subsea construction campaign in Brazilian waters.

The C-Kore tools will be used to perform the subsea electrical verification of new umbilicals after installation.

Used by operators and installation contractors around the world, for both installation and fault-finding operations, C-Kore’s subsea testing tools include:

• The Cable Monitor unit – used to confirm the insulation resistance and continuity of electrical lines
• The Subsea TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) – localizes anomalies along the line
• The Subsea Optical TDR – C-Kore’s latest Subsea Optical TDR which can now also verify the subsea fiber optics

With C-Kore’s automated units and live online training, no additional offshore personnel are required to operate the equipment.

Diego Baraldi, Sales Manager, South America for C-Kore commented, “After our successful work on the Mero 1 project, we are delighted to work on this important campaign. Our tools are easy to use and do not require any specialist offshore personnel, saving our customers time and money on their offshore operations”.

Cynthia Pikaar, Sales Manager for C-Kore continued, “We are very excited about the continued work we are doing in Brazil as it is an important market with its deeper water projects. It is great to see the acceptance of our technology by operators and installation contractors. The automation of our tools simplifies the subsea testing for our customers. We look forward to the continued cooperation with our Brazilian customers”.
