About us. MAPS® is the industry's premium technology for the management of flexible risers. It has a unique capability to assess the integrity of the primary load-bearing elements within the pipe design, the steel armor wires.
Our proven solutions include the MAPS wire stress and wire break monitoring and inspection systems, integrated fiberoptic sensors embedded in the pipe structure, and topsides equipment for the monitoring of polymer and pipe annulus condition. (Courtesy Baker Hughes) Deeper, higher, hotter Today, frontier markets such as Latin America, Brazil in particular, and West Africa, epitomize the need for enhanced flexible pipe technology. It has a unique capability to assess the integrity of the primary load bearing elements within the pipe design - the steel armour wires. MAPS® is the industry's premium technology for the management of flexible risers from all manufacturers. Inspection.

Our AptaraTM TOTEX-lite subsea system is easier and more economic to install, it operates smoothly, and is flexible enough to evolve for our customers over the life of field. In all cases, our approach is underpinned by a risk-based methodology developed specifically to address the attributes of the flexible pipe construction that govern lifecycle performance. We provide a comprehensive range of products and services to assist in the integrity management of these important assets. Higher flows. Including "Riser" applications; that connect seabed structures like BOPs to surface structures like FPSOs.Our composite dynamic pipes further enhance the benefits for our customers by reducing the total cost of ownership for the deeper, or highly sour applications while relying on the same connection (end-fittings) that have been proven over the last 20+ years of service. Protecting flexible risers.
These pipes are still able to flex and support the full range of field requirements. Faster installation. Delivering integrated oilfield products, services and digital solutions, we deploy minds and machines to enhance customer productivity, safety and environmental stewardship, while minimizing costs and risk at every step of the value chain… Conventional techniques for inspection and monitoring of flexible pipe are ineffective with the complexity of the structure of flexible pipe.
