Prove structural integrity during all stages in the lifetime of subsea equipment

Your confidence in the safety of pipeline, umbilical and cable designs is key to success. That’s why we offer tools aligned with DNV standards and recommended practices - helping you achieve cost-efficient subsea equipment and ensure safe, reliable production throughout your asset’s lifetime.

DNV's standards and recommended practices are widely accepted because they are based on decades of industry collaboration, research, and experience, resulting in world-leading standards like DNV-ST-F101 Submarine Pipeline Systems for transporting oil and gas and in the renewable industry for hydrogen and carbon capture. These standards and recommended practices promote a risk-based approach, incorporating modern limit-state design principles and focusing on higher-risk areas to ensure safety and integrity throughout the asset’s lifecycle.

The industry relies on DNV's established global presence, consistent service, and commitment to continuous updates and R&D, which address emerging challenges and maintain confidence in the safety of pipeline design and operation. The DNV Subsea Toolkit supports this as it is a digital representation of DNV’s standards and recommended practices encompassing pipelines, umbilicals and cables.

DNV offers digital solutions for state-of-the-art methodologies for advanced structural analysis of submarine pipelines, cables and umbilicals according to DNV rules. The objective is to enable you to efficiently optimize the design with respect to costs, feasibility and compliance with regulatory standards. Our tools and services provide you with the confidence and support needed for structural considerations during all lifetime phases of subsea equipment including the operational phase and service life after permitted lifetime.
