TESS Canarias in Action: Hydraulic Hose Replacement on Island Innovator
We were commissioned by Island Innovator to carry out the replacement of hydraulic hoses across a wide range of their drilling, deck, and safety equipment.
In less than two months, our specialized team successfully replaced over 800 hydraulic hoses on board, utilizing vertical access techniques to safely reach all required areas.
Throughout the project, all work was conducted in full compliance with the client’s strict health and safety standards, ensuring a safe and incident-free operation.
This project demonstrates TESS Canarias’ capability to deliver high-volume offshore maintenance solutions efficiently and safely, even in complex operational environments.
Scope of work
Our SOW has followed guidelines to perform the work with the highest efficiency, safety and quality. Each hose that was replaced was capped and drained to prevent oil spillage. The manufacture of the new hoses followed a quality procedure that includes:
- Cleaning of the hose cut with projectiles
- Pressing according to manufacturer’s tables
- Pressure testing to 1.5 WP
- Labelling of each hose with the related information
- Flushing to achieve NAS 7
- Capping of each end to prevent dirt ingress
The installation of each hose has been carried out by double checking to avoid that no hose is left without the necessary tightening.
Once installed, the corresponding test was carried out on the equipment to correct possible leaks in case they exist.
Finally, each terminal was covered with dense tape to prevent corrosion.
