Hydrone-R is an Underwater Intervention Drone (UID) with ROV and AUV capabilities. Hydrone-R is the most versatile configuration when survey and inspection activities must be carried out in combination with light intervention works. It operates in up to 3,000 m water depth, with 8-12 h autonomy and horizontal inspection (up to 10 km).

SPRINGS® (Subsea PRocess and INjection Gear for Seawater) is a subsea technology for the treatment of seawater utilizing Sulphate Removal membranes for the removal of sulphates prior to injection into the reservoir.
SPRINGS® is an alternative to conventional topsides seawater sulphate removal units. Bringing the water treatment process close to the injection wells, allows the optimization of the subsea network as well as significant reduction on topside space requirement. Finally, SPRINGS units are “all electric”, i.e. connected only through a power and control umbilical to the topside.
OIE is a totally unique system designed to intervene during spillage from a subsea wellhead, when direct vertical access is not possible. The OIE makes it possible to install the “capping stack” and the auxiliary equipment while remaining at a safe distance from the point of intervention. It is operated from the surface by means of remotely controlled Work Class subsea robots called ROVs (remotely operated vehicles).

Hexafloat is a cost-effective lightweight pendulum floater for very large offshore wind turbines.
Hexafloat substructure aims to be a one-size-fits-all foundation for a range of turbine sizes thanks to a hanging counterweight that can be lowered to stabilize heavier loads.
The counterweight will be suspended by synthetic fiber tendons from a 180-foot-wide, 1,300-ton hexagonal submersible floater made of welded steel tubes containing water ballast tanks.
The structure will be attached to the seabed via three or six simple mooring lines with drag anchors, and export cables will be attached in a lazy wave configuration, minimizing the need for seabed preparation.
S-PRINT is the revolutionary solution to deliver a zero-defect offshore CLAD and fatigue-performance pipeline welding root pass.
The development of the S-PRINT system represents a significant advance in the level of performance and quality assurance that can be achieved in the construction of clad pipelines.
This is likely to bring huge benefits to the industry across a broad range of different applications and, in particular, in the expanding sector of internally clad and lined pipelines
S-FIDA is an ultrasonic-based NDT technology which ensures top class reliability and accuracy of inspection through a unique combination of different ultrasonic techniques.
S-FIDA ZD (Zonal Discrimination): inspection of CS welds (including Fatigue sensitive ones), with specific software tool for examination linepipe with heavy thickness variations.
S-FIDA HY (Hybrid): inspection of CLAD linepipe girth welds with a combination of multiple UT techniques for an accurate sizing in the root and weld volume.
S-FIDA FS (Full Sectorial): inspection of weld overlay girth welds with unique UT technique to overcome the weld overlay issues.
S-WIPER seals a Field Joint with a polyolefin strip extruded and wrapped in real-time around the pipe guaranting a systemwith properties as close as possible to the mill applied coatings.
Among complex Saipem technologies the SWIPER is the fastest one, completing the full top-coat application in just one minute
The roller of the equipment is a very smart device with inner parts that guarantee the possibility to distribute uniformly the pressure force to the extruded strip despite the particular profile of the field joint and relevant tolerances. The roller is patented and also the overall SWIPER technology is covered by several Saipem patents. Development of SWIPER technology benefits from different newly technological market solutions
