At Viper Innovations we are continuing to provide our usual high levels of customer service using modified processes that mitigate the risks to businesses and individuals posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We have made this possible by offering our subsea customers a number of alternative remote support and monitoring options:

We offer remote support for V-LIM installations;

As an alternative to mobilising a Viper engineer for our V-LIM retrofit installations, we have developed enhanced V-LIM installation procedures; enabling existing competent offshore personnel to fit the monitor themselves while being guided from onshore by one our expert team members. Enabling customer installations avoids mobilisation of a Viper engineer eliminates the associated Covid-19 risk to the engineer and the offshore personnel as well as reducing installation costs.

The V-LIM provides accurate electrical integrity data over a very wide range of insulation resistance levels. It is also an integral part of Viper Innovations’ unique V-LIFE electrical cable healing technology, and ensures that the subsea system is ‘V-LIFE Ready’.

Subsea Output Module V-LIM upgrades and refurbishments;

Customers can now send their spare Subsea Output Modules (SOMs) to our facilities, where our skilled engineers can upgrade the SOMs by installing a V-LIM for precise and accurate monitoring and making them ‘V-LIFE ready’; as well as other available system upgrades. We can now offer the option of remote FAT witnessing by customers or 3^rd parties eliminating the Covid-19 risks of travelling to witness on site. The refurbished SOMs are sent back to the customers for installation.

Monitor your entire Subsea Control System remotely with V-ASSURE;

V-ASSURE, our Asset Integrity Management Services for Subsea Production Control Systems; has been designed to provide our customers with a clear picture of the current status of their asset and the tools required for informed decision making.

The V-ASSURE Portal, a bespoke software application, enables remote management of the integrity of the subsea assets. Customers can instantly access clear, reliable and comprehensive information in a structured fashion whether they are working in the office, from home or on-site; allowing them to accurately evaluate and mitigate the risks to their subsea control system and avoid costly downtime.
