We were requested by Island Innovator to proceed with the replacement of hydraulic hoses on many of their drilling, deck and safety equipment.

In total approximately +800 hoses were replaced in a period of less than 2 months with a rope access team working on board.

The security measures required by the client were complied with at all times.

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.
