TOOLING AND WORK PACKAGES

The Working ROV has been upgraded and developed over the last 10 Years and is a capable of most underwater tasks that the Diver has been performing now and in the past, all it takes its a bit of ROV friendly engineering. The basic designs are modular work vehicles which can accept different "Work" modules. The work modules are expected to be designed and fitted by the ROV Operating Companies, Usually these work modules are developed around a Customers Specification for different Underwater work tasks such as Construction, Non destructive testing, Salvage and Diver support.

Hydraulic Friction welder

The Friction welding package was developed to be used for the welding of Continuity straps used on New platform installations. The continuity strap provided electrical continuity between the steel pile and the Platform structure. The friction welder was clamped on the work site by using the ROV Hydraulic power supply and it's control system, a clamp was fitted inside the steel pile and a rotary friction welding tool was offered up onto the Steel platform structure. When the tool had been activated a steel bolt was welded to the fixed structure providing electrical continuity between the pile sleeve and the Platform.
