Description
Successful installation and operation of complex systems in the deep ocean requires a comprehensive approach to managing risk throughout the entire project. Equipment installed in the deep ocean is exposed to extreme pressure, a highly corrosive environment, and can only be installed and maintained with advanced robotic tools and specialized vessels. From the concept stage through prototype validation, detailed design, manufacturing, testing, and installation; risk management can make the difference between success and failure. Understanding the mature approach to subsea system development used in military, submarine telecommunications, or offshore oil & gas applications can avoid costly mistakes and schedule delays. This talk introduces key concepts related to technology readiness levels (TRL), technology qualification, risk assessment & risk management, and describes essential processes to support successful subsea project delivery.
