Knowing when your pump is nearing the end of its life can help with ordering parts or a new one and planning for downtime. 1.Know the Hours All machinery wears out with time and pumps are designed to work for a set number of hours before they need replacing.

Not Starting Another sign that your pump is in trouble is when it no longer starts the first time. If it takes a few turns to get going in the morning...

Called NEPSYS®, the internationally patented dry underwater welding technology allows high quality, permanent welding to be performed under the sea. Underwater welding was previously considered a temporary solution with rework required in the future, but NEPSYS® has consistently shown to achieve dry environment results.   For dry underwater welding projects, the right provider will custom design a habitat to secure the weld area and create an environment that fully encloses and isolates the weld zone. Benefits of Using NEPSYS® NEPSYS® has revolutionised underwater welding with a range of benefits including: No rework required saving time and costs Safer than alternative methods Work completed in-situ, no need for dry docking or hyperbaric repairs Superior quality results equal to dry environment welding Portable and flexible system Neptune Case Studies Project: First North Sea NEPSYS® Repair, UK Problem: Full penetration crack in a column to sponson...

Inspections Commercial diving includes services such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), Close Visual Inspection (CVI) and General Inspections as well as high quality subsea photography and video surveys. Highly trained and qualified personnel conduct metal thickness measurements, cathodic potential (bathycorrometer) measurements, magnetic particle inspection and current testing. A commercial diver can write inspection and maintenance programs taking into account the different construction materials involved, possible wear points, time constraints and conditions.   Repairs Repair services of a commercial di...
