Investment to support subsea intervention
operations
Hydrasun, a specialist provider of
integrated fluid transfer, power and
control solutions to the global energy
market, has invested more than
£600,000 in new specialist equipment
and inventory, for the completion of
high-pressure, long-length specialist
hose assemblies for subsea intervention
operations.
The investment, driven by the on-going
success and development of sales of
the high-pressure Polyflex Hose series,
equips Hydrasun with the technology
and capabilities to provide a turnkey
service offering in relation to product
developments, the latest of which is the
3" Black Eagle Hose by Parker.
Complementing its existing 1½" and
2" product lines, and available with
working pressures of 5k, 10k and
15k psi, this product can be supplied
in lengths of up to 800m, with its
enhanced mechanical, temperature and
flow characteristics offering operational
reliability and performance advantages,
as well as claimed time and cost savings
for customers undertaking subsea
intervention operations.
As a Parker supplier within the UK,
Hydrasun has direct access to the Black
Eagle range of products.
Off-the-shelf availability of these prod-
ucts allows for the supply of completed
bespoke assemblies in a short lead
time, typically within one week.
Further extending its in-house
operational capabilities, Hydrasun
has invested in assembly and testing
equipment, including a new crimping
machine that can crimp hoses up to 10"
in diameter with a crimp force of 1,200
tonnes, as well as enhanced reeling
equipment facilitating the safe handling
and movement of assemblies of up to
ten tonnes.
In a related product development,
Hydrasun has expanded its range of
complementary fitting products with
the design and development of a new
Cardanic coupling, enabling multiple
sections of hose to be joined together.
Hydrasun’s sales and marketing
director, Craig Sangster, said, “One
of Hydrasun’s leading objectives is to
provide our customers with access to
a product and service offering within
rapid timescales that suit the nature
of their operations. By developing the
suite of high-pressure hose assemblies
we can manufacture within our own
facilities, we can deliver the speed of
response our customers require whilst
delivering innovation and real value to
their operations going forward.”
