To complement our innovative and industry proven products, investment in sophisticated in-house technical engineering facilities mean that we are able to support the specialised requirements of our extensive client base.

We can provide front end design studies on specific field developments to determine cost-effective pipeline pigging solutions prior to the award of hardware contracts, followed by the manufacture and/or project management of specialist engineering solutions for both subsea and topside applications.

Our long experience in providing solutions for flow assurance problems associated with "life of field" pipeline maintenance requirements, places us in an ideal position to offer this service to operators and engineering companies.

This service extends to the development of specific engineered products for use within the oil, gas and process industries and includes the introduction of quick opening closures for use in both medical and environmental applications.

Examples of recent projects include:

Eastern Trough Area Project
The provision of a multiple pig launching system for the BP ETAP field located in the UK North Sea enabled cost-effective single line pigging operations to be carried out as part of the pipeline maintenance programme.

Deepwater Subsea Pig Launcher
Halliburton/GD Engineering
This development, carried out jointly with Halliburton, established the design of a multiple pig launching system for deepwater applications. The launcher eliminates the need for round trip pigging and the provision of expensive dual-flow lines to connect satellite fields to host facilities.

Shah Deniz ­ Topsides Multiple Pig Launching System
A multiple pig launching system has been supplied for the BP Shah Deniz Caspian Sea Project. Designed for installation on the TPG500 "Jack-up" platform, its use will enable pipeline pigs to be launched into condensate pipeline, at specified intervals, without the need for manual intervention.

Waste Treatment Closures

Industrial/Domestic ­ A range of fully automatic closures for use in industrial/domestic waste treatment plants has been produced. Ranging in size from 1.8m to 2.5m diameter the closures are designed for remote and continuous operation in the steam reduction process.
Providing quick and safe access to the vessel, the closure provides a cost-effective solution which maintains the high throughput required.

Medical
The Medlock quick acting closure was developed to provide safe and reliable access to medical waste treatment vessels. It´s unique design offers protection to the operator from the high temperature steam process conditions. Designed for operation by medical staff, the closure will accept red bag waste products for on-site destruction and disposal.
