Subsea leak detection
Colmar is probably the most experienced company worldwide in the field of subsea leak detection.
For over 20 years, we have developed, patented, and qualified (DNV-GL) a proprietary leak detection technology known as ALD (Acoustic Leak Detector), specializing in precise Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) services.
**Please note:** while we excel in the detection of leaks, **Colmar does not provide repair services**. Our focus is on delivering highly accurate leak detection results, and any necessary repairs will be managed by third-party service providers.
We have proven the effectiveness of ALD on the field:
22 years, worldwide
58 leaks detected on offshore installations
94 projects (including non-leaking pipeline)
100 % rate of success
0,04 lt/min the smallest leak detected on the field
Thanks to our technology we can promptly detect very small leaks using the most suitable inspection ALD methodology:
- ROV installed
- Towfish
- Diver handheld
- Vertical deployment
- AUV installed
- ALM – permanent installation for continuous monitoring
We provide:
- Emergency services in case of Oil Spill or hydrotest failure
- Stand by services during critical operation (pressure test, pigging)
- IRM (inspection repair maintenance) services
- Inspection for pipeline rehabilitation
