Abstract

A subsea pipeline buoyancy module 2 comprising monitoring apparatus 4 to monitor a condition or parameter of the buoyancy module. The monitoring apparatus is accessible for e.g. data storage removal by a subsea diver or a ROV via e.g. a pod hole 8 with funnel entry 12 closed by a plug 14 to protect from marine life, and includes a power supply 26 or power generation unit and sensors 20. The monitoring apparatus can monitor a condition or parameter of the buoyancy module on land, during subsea testing, and/or during subsea use, such as depth, temperature, salinity, foam curing, slamming load, motion, pressure, acoustic, optical, visual, stress, strain, tension. The power source may be one of a water activated, induction rechargeable and an LiSi/CoS2 battery, a seawater cell, an open or ducted turbine or a fin generator. The sensors may involve Surface Acoustic Wave array, a time lapse camera, or an attitude sensor. The module may be a two half-shell type joined by a metallic or elastomer clamp which may be monitored for condition.
