North Sea oil services case study

Inspection reporting built for offshore work

AquaTerra Group needed a flexible inspection platform for North Sea service delivery: NDT reporting, offline mobile work, DROPS records, lifting equipment registers and AI-assisted workflows.

Customer background

An Aberdeenshire services group working across offshore energy

Sector

Oil, gas, renewables and marine

AquaTerra provides construction, maintenance and inspection solutions for oil and gas, renewable, marine and onshore infrastructure customers.

Operating context

North Sea and brownfield assets

The group supports complex offshore scopes where access, lifting, inspection and asset integrity work must be controlled and traceable.

Delivery context

Multi-discipline offshore teams

Inspection, access and lifting work spans multiple disciplines, so reporting needs to keep field capture, registers, evidence and client review aligned.

Commercial context

Established private group

Recent AquaTerra announcements include seven-figure project wins and a reported £3 million milestone in renewable energy contract revenue.

The shift

From office-based reporting to a connected inspection platform

AquaTerra Group delivers construction, maintenance and inspection services in demanding offshore environments. Their reporting system needed to support detailed NDT work while keeping quality, consistency and customer delivery under control.

AgileNDT was configured as a multi-use platform for inspection reporting and related registers, helping AquaTerra centralise report creation, improve visibility and keep field work moving when connectivity is limited.

Challenge

Offshore inspection work does not fit a single reporting template

Complex NDT packages

Report packages needed to handle multiple NDT methods, continuation sheets, images and condition monitoring pages without losing consistency.

Connectivity cannot be assumed

Offshore and site-based teams need mobile workflows that remain useful when internet access is limited or intermittent.

Registers matter

DROPS and lifting equipment records need the same level of structure, traceability and professional output as NDT reports.

Solution

A platform configured around AquaTerra's inspection work

AgileNDT gives AquaTerra a centralised web platform for creating and managing inspection records, with mobile offline capability for field capture and specialist modules for DROPS and lifting equipment.

  • Report packages configured for twelve NDT methods and supporting inspection evidence.
  • Offline mobile app workflows for site and offshore environments.
  • DROPS and lifting equipment registers connected to the wider inspection record.
  • AI integration to help turn structured inspection data into useful operational insight.

Configured capabilities

One platform for the work around the report

The value is not only the final PDF. AquaTerra's system supports the inspection data, registers, mobile capture and client-facing workflow needed around complex offshore scopes.

NDT reporting

Structured report creation, review and delivery across method-specific templates.

12 NDT methods

Method-specific packages support the inspection techniques AquaTerra needs across offshore scopes.

Offline mobile

Field teams can continue capturing inspection information when connectivity is limited.

DROPS

Dropped-object records can be managed alongside wider inspection and asset evidence.

Lifting registers

Lifting equipment records, certificates and status visibility sit in the same controlled system.

AI integration

Structured records create the foundation for AI-assisted review, summaries and inspection insight.

Results

More control across offshore inspection delivery

01

Centralised reporting

Inspection records are created and managed in a single online platform instead of scattered office files.

02

Cleaner field capture

Offline mobile workflows help technicians keep progressing when signal availability is not guaranteed.

03

Broader inspection scope

NDT, DROPS and lifting equipment records can be handled as connected parts of the inspection operation.

04

Data ready for AI

Structured records make it easier to surface trends, summaries and operational insight from inspection data.

Product showcase

Built for inspection teams that need more than reports

AgileNDT brings reporting, mobile capture, registers, customer access and AI-ready inspection data into one configured platform. That matters for North Sea service work where records need to be fast, reliable and traceable.

In Martin's words

Consolidate, centralise and improve quality management

"A solution that would consolidate and centralise their NDT reporting."

"Clients who require detailed and reliable NDT inspection services with an expectation of robust and consistent reporting."

"Moving our NDT reporting from the more traditional office-based format to an online digital platform was recognised as the most logical and effective means."
