Dexon Technology Public Company Limited (DEXON) reaffirms its leadership in underwater inspection and structural assessment with its specialized Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Drydocking (UWILD) services. Covering operations at depths ranging from 2 meters to over 100 meters, Dexon’s marine inspection capabilities strictly follow the Rules of major Classification Societies, ensuring full compliance with international standards.Trusted Expertise in Thickness Gauging

Dexon Marine Inspection Team has earned recognition and credibility from Classification Societies to perform thickness gauging in critical areas such as the Bottom Plate (suspect areas and keel plate) and Side Shell. Certified divers conduct these inspections with precision, followed by detailed reports submitted directly to the respective Class authorities.

Specialized Solutions for FPSO & FSO

For Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs) and Floating Storage and Offloading units (FSOs), which feature turret structures and mooring chains anchored to the seabed, Dexon provides additional specialized inspection services. These include elongation and angle measurements of mooring chains, combining rope access techniques with underwater diving operations. The collected data is further analyzed using advanced fatigue analysis software to ensure the integrity of mooring systems and safeguard the vessel’s structural stability.

Supporting Intermediate Surveys and Life Extension

All inspection results are integrated into Intermediate Surveys and serve as critical documentation for Life Extension programs, allowing vessel and platform owners to apply for operational lifespan extensions of typically 3–5 years, subject to Class approval. This service plays a vital role in extending asset life, minimizing downtime, and optimizing operational costs.
