we are pleased to announce the successful implementation of its industry-leading SAM™ (Surface Asset Management) software solution with Bilfinger USA, supporting Hess Corporation across three of its offshore assets in the Gulf of America.

This collaboration marks another major milestone for Surface as SAM™ continues to redefine how global energy companies manage and protect critical infrastructure. The deployment enables Bilfinger to digitise and streamline offshore fabric maintenance (FM) operations — from survey through to predictive planning and execution.

“We are proud to see SAM™ driving efficiency and safety improvements on such important offshore assets,” said Steve Brierley, Operations Director at Surface Corrosion Consultants. “Bilfinger’s adoption of SAM™ demonstrates the value of digital transformation in asset integrity and maintenance management.”

Driving Predictive Maintenance Through Data and Insight

Using SAM™, Bilfinger’s offshore teams can now conduct comprehensive corrosion and coating surveys directly in the field — even in challenging offshore conditions — and automatically synchronise results to the central SAM™ platform. The system’s predictive analytics capabilities then model deterioration rates and forecast maintenance requirements, allowing proactive and cost-effective planning.

The digital workflow removes manual data handling and improves visibility for all stakeholders, helping Hess Corporation maintain the highest standards of integrity and compliance across its Gulf of Mexico operations.

A Step Forward for Offshore Asset Integrity

The project reinforces Surface’s position as a leading provider of digital asset integrity management solutions to the global energy sector. With this success, SAM™ continues its growth as the preferred platform for managing the full lifecycle of Coatings, Insulation and PFP maintenance across offshore and onshore assets.

“This project is a great example of collaboration between innovation and execution,” added Steve Brierley. “By combining Bilfinger’s operational excellence with SAM’s digital intelligence, we’re helping our clients extend asset life, enhance safety, and deliver measurable savings.”
