A typical Re-Certification Survey consists of a re-class inspections of the Riser Joints and Telescopic Joints.

• General & Critical Visual Inspections
• Surface Examinations (Penetrant & Magnetic Particle Inspections)
• Inner Surface Video Inspections
• Ultrasonic Weld Inspection using the Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) and Phased Array Method
• Wall Thickness Surveys
• Dimensional Surveys
• Inspection of the Dog Assemblies
• Visual inspection of Riser Accessories, Buoyancy etc.

• Potential Safety hazard eliminated by negating handling and movement.
• Handling and shipping damage is minimized.
• On-site inspection reduces downtime.
• Allows for inspection without the removal of buoyancy and/or Auxiliary lines and their coatings.
• An Improved Inspection using advanced Wall Thickness surveys and Weld Inspection techniques.
• Digitally recorded results and video images for future comparison and trending.
• Archived results for easy retrieval of inspection.
• The early identification of future repair requirements.

• Optional Baseline surveys - Wall thickness and Weld Inspection data can be collected and used as footprint for future inspections
• Period Inspection - ‘between wells’ aboard the rig, carried out by rig personnel
• Preventative Maintenance - Period Inspection aboard the rig (e.g. 20% per year)
• 5 Yearly Inspection - can be deployed on the rig or on site, in the region
