Fiber optics offer an attractive alternative to load cells for monitoring strain on tension leg platforms and oil platform risers. Fiber optics have also been used to monitor vibration, pressure, and temperature on subsea systems. Astro Technology is a pioneer in providing these integrated monitoring solutions for deepwater applications. This video details the installation on the Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) as part of the Hess Okume Complex in Equatorial Guinea.
