CONTINGENCY ASSET MANAGEMENT (CAM)

For operators managing their own Emergency Pipeline Repair Systems (EPRS) assets, Contingency Asset Management ensures all EPRS equipment remains fully operational and fit for purpose.

Owning repair equipment alone does not guarantee preparedness in the event of pipeline damage. For EPRS to be truly effective, every component must be maintained, preserved, and ready to deploy. The Contingency Asset Management (CAM) programme from Connector Subsea Solutions (CSS) ensures operators’ repair assets remain in readiness for deployment, providing complete confidence that equipment will perform as designed when needed most.

ENSURING READINESS THROUGH STORAGE, PRESERVATION, AND INSPECTION

Correct storage, maintenance, and inspection routines are vital to keeping EPRS assets operational over the long term. CAM helps operators mitigate risks such as deterioration from environmental exposure, corrosion, or misplaced spares — issues that can easily render critical repair assets unusable when time is of the essence.

Under the CAM programme, CSS provides systematic inspection and condition reporting, including detailed recommendations to restore or maintain performance standards.

FULL‑SERVICE SUPPORT TO KEEP SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL

Through CAM, operators benefit from an ongoing inspection, maintenance and preservation contract, designed to keep contingency equipment ready to mobilise at short notice. CSS can manage equipment stored either within operator facilities or at a dedicated CSS storage site, ensuring all assets are properly protected against weather exposure, contamination, or mechanical damage.

Our structured maintenance schedules are supported by extended warranty periods and continuous performance assurance, helping operators maintain certification, reduce requalification costs, and extend the operational life of critical repair systems.

TAILORED COVERAGE FOR ALL CONTINGENCY EQUIPMENT

The CAM programme applies to all types of contingency repair equipment, including pipeline clamps, connectors, ancillary tools, and spares. CSS works closely with each operator to tailor the management plan according to the asset’s age, configuration, and deployment history, ensuring each component remains compliant with original design specifications and mobilisation requirements.

MAINTAIN CONFIDENCE IN YOUR EPRS READINESS

With CSS Contingency Asset Management, operators retain full control of their repair assets while benefiting from CSS’s deep technical expertise, maintenance infrastructure, and inspection capability. The result is a fully verified, ready‑to‑deploy EPRS — giving operators the assurance that, should a pipeline incident occur, their equipment, spares, and procedures will perform exactly as intended.
