Offshore

Your most remote assets. No support vessel, no ropes, no shutdown.

From deepwater developments to platforms in the Bay of Campeche and marine assets — we operate engineering-grade inspection programs on the most expensive assets in the industry to reach, using the methodology born inspecting the North Sea.

Origin

Cyberhawk did not come to offshore from technology. It came from the rope.

Its founders were rope access inspection engineers in the North Sea. They knew firsthand what it means to hang off a flare boom in heavy swell — and they built the alternative.

Seventeen years and over 500,000 inspections later, that methodology operates in 40 countries on the offshore assets of the world’s most demanding operators.

Meridian Aero operates it in Mexico.

The challenge

What an offshore inspection really costs

Every rope access technician occupies a POB bed for the entire campaign — space that generates no production.

Support vessel, helicopter transfer, and weather window: the logistics cost more than the inspection itself.

The splash zone and underdeck are the most corrosive parts of the asset and the hardest to reach — they get inspected late and incompletely.

Without a comparable baseline, every campaign starts from zero: there are reports, but no degradation trend.

The economics of access

The cost is not in the inspection. It is in getting there.

Deliverable
Thermal anomaly register with delta-T quantification and failure class triage.
04

Emissions Monitoring (OGI)

Methane and fugitive emissions quantification on offshore facilities for OGMP 2.0 compliance — with measured flow rates, not estimates.

Deliverable
Georeferenced leak inventory with quantified flow rates and OGMP 2.0-aligned reports.
05

Geospatial & 3D Digital Twins

As-built reality captured to engineering tolerance. For as-built verification on capital projects, progress tracking, and decommissioning or upgrade decisions.

Deliverable

Deliverable
Hull and marine structure condition assessment with auditable evidence for classification societies.
Platform · iHawk by Cyberhawk

A permanent record for every platform

Every platform gets its own permanent digital record in iHawk, compared campaign to campaign. Change detection flags new corrosion, structural damage, and post-event degradation — and every finding flows directly into work orders in SAP PM or Maximo.
