Problems we solve
- Active J-Tube Seal
- Bespoke Pull in head & Bend Stiffeners
Case Study: Enhancing Application Performance
Industry: Offshore, Oil & Gas, Renewables
Original Material: Steel
New Material: Nylacast Aquanyl 612
Challenge:
We were tasked with engineering and manufacturing a bespoke ROV activated J-Tube that would meet all the testing requirements to prove the equipment would be field ready for a challenging installation.
Solution:
This project resulted in a successful installation of the Active J-Tube Seal on the Tommeliten Alpha Development platform in the North Sea. The bespoke applications were delivered for the umbilical installation campaign by our team of offshore certified personnel who provided support & supervision to a global leader in offshore installations for the offshore assembly of the Active J-Tube Seal. The completion of this project, that was engineered & projected managed by our team, adds to our extensive track record in supplying Cable & Umbilical protection & sealing solutions.
