Services
Flexible Riser Design
Our engineering team provides comprehensive flexible riser design solutions, combining decades of manufacturing expertise with advanced analysis software. We specialise in creating cost-effective systems that balance performance requirements with operational constraints. Our services include concept engineering, detailed systems analysis, and specification development for dynamic riser systems.
Integrity Services
We deliver complete integrity management programmes for flexible assets, incorporating fatigue assessment and life extension strategies. Our proprietary monitoring systems and inspection technologies provide definitive data on asset condition. These services help operators maintain safe operations while optimising maintenance schedules and extending asset lifespans.
Offshore Wind Support
Our offshore wind services apply oil & gas sector expertise to floating wind projects. We provide cable protection system engineering, dynamic analysis, and installation support. Our team offers specialist knowledge in corrosion mitigation and structural integrity for wind farm infrastructure, ensuring reliable long-term performance in challenging marine environments.
Annulus Testing
We pioneered automated annulus testing using our proprietary FlexScout technology. This positive pressure testing method delivers conclusive data on riser annulus condition. Our services include both manual and automated testing solutions, performed by experienced technicians using portable equipment that can be deployed rapidly to any global location.
Corrosion Mitigation
Our FlexGel technology provides effective splash zone corrosion mitigation for subsea assets. The solution displaces oxygenated seawater to prevent degradation. We offer both standard and customised corrosion protection systems, including guide tube treatments and restricted access applications, ensuring long-term asset integrity in challenging marine environments.
