ClampOn has been awarded a contract for delivery of five subsea ClampOn DSP Leak Monitors to the Tampen Link project in the Norwegian sector in the North Sea (Sept 07).

ClampOn will supply its ultrasonic non-intrusive acoustic Leak Monitors to Technip Norge AS on behalf of Statoil. The Leak Monitors will be retrofitted on two 20” gas valves on the seabed to verify/disprove through-valve gas leakage. These valves are currently open and they will be shut to close off the bypass alternative.

The Leak Monitors are self-contained and will be deployed by ROV to operate continuously for periods of up to one month. The monitors will be used during the closing of the two valves, and may later be operated on demand to verify their condition at a later stage.
