Robotic Waterblasting and Waterjetting Solutions for Offshore Industry

Offshore operations require precise and effective cleaning solutions to maintain critical structures and equipment while adhering to strict environmental and safety standards.

At DERC Salotech, we provide cutting-edge robotic tools like the MagTrack, designed to make high-pressure cleaning safer, faster, and more sustainable for the offshore industry.

Challenges in Offshore Maintenance

The offshore industry faces unique challenges due to harsh environmental conditions and the need for operational continuity. Key challenges include:

  • Corrosion Control: Offshore structures are prone to corrosion from constant exposure to saltwater and harsh weather.
  • Coating Removal: Regular maintenance, including stripping and recoating, is essential to protect assets and ensure operational safety.
  • Environmental Compliance: Offshore operations must prevent waste discharge into marine ecosystems to comply with environmental regulations.

Traditional cleaning methods often present risks to workers and the environment, along with high costs and inefficiencies.

MagTrack Robotic Solutions for Offshore Industry

MagTrack Swing Arm: Versatile Waterblasting

The MagTrack Swing Arm is engineered for precise cleaning and maintenance of offshore structures, including platforms, pipelines, and wind turbines.

  • Waterjetting (Waterblasting): Removes coatings and contaminants while leaving a smoother surface for future applications.
  • Remote Operation: Enhances worker safety by allowing cleaning tasks to be conducted from a safe distance.
  • Cost-Effective: No need for additional vacuum systems, reducing overall project costs.

MagTrack Blast Can: Closed Vacuum Waterjetting for Sustainability

For environmentally sensitive offshore environments, the MagTrack Blast Can provides closed-loop cleaning solutions.

  • Eco-Friendly Design: Captures wastewater and debris, ensuring no contamination of marine ecosystems.
  • High-Pressure Performance: Effectively cleans offshore equipment and structures.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for tank cleaning, pipelines, and sensitive areas where waste containment is crucial.

MagTrack Mini: Compact and Efficient for Offshore Cleaning

The MagTrack Mini is specifically designed for confined and hazardous offshore environments, offering unmatched versatility for closed vacuum waterjetting.

  • Compact and Lightweight: Perfect for areas with limited access, such as the undersides of offshore platforms or small structural components.
  • Closed Vacuum Waterjetting: Captures wastewater and debris for eco-friendly cleaning.
  • Remote Control: Ensures operator safety while delivering precise cleaning results in hazardous conditions.

Optional Certifications for Offshore Reliability

To meet specific offshore project requirements, MagTrack waterjetting systems can be optionally equipped with:

  • ATEX Zone 2 Certification: For safe operation in explosive atmospheres.
  • NORSOK Standards: To align with stringent offshore industry safety and efficiency requirements (read more).

These certifications provide an added layer of assurance for clients operating in hazardous or regulated environments.
