Critical Subsea Manifold Services

Pipeline End Manifolds (PLEMs) are critical subsea structures in offshore oil and gas production systems. They function as control and distribution hubs, routing hydrocarbons from pipelines to FPSOs, refineries, floating storage units and shore facilities. Ensuring the integrity of these subsea manifolds is essential for uninterrupted operations, regulatory compliance and asset protection.

What Is A PLEM?

What Is A PLEM?

Because PLEMs operate under high pressure, extreme depth and corrosive environments, they require precise, routine inspections to prevent costly failures.

  • Hubs and wyes for product distribution
  • High pressure ball valves for flow control
  • ROV interface panels for remote operation
  • Jumper systems and specialized connectors to link subsea infrastructure

Why Use ROVs For PLEM Inspection?

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) offer the safest and most effective solution for PLEM inspection in deepwater and harsh subsea conditions. Unlike divers, ROVs can operate at extreme depths while maintaining stability and delivering high resolution imaging and data acquisition.

  • Ultra HD cameras for detailed visual inspection
  • Sonar and 3D laser scanning systems for structural analysis
  • Acoustic resonance and wall thickness measurement tools
  • Corrosion mapping and crack detection technologies

Key Benefits Of ROV PLEM Inspections

  • Non intrusive and diverless operations safer and faster
  • Early detection of defects including corrosion, pitting or leakage
  • Accurate 3 axis structural scanning to verify manifold alignment
  • Extended equipment lifespan through preventive maintenance
  • Reduced downtime and lower inspection costs compared to manual methods
