Flexible Riser & Flowline

The use of pipe to transport oil and gas in both onshore and offshore environments is common but the innovation of flexible pipe has fostered increased versatility in oil and gas exploration and recovery. Flexible pipe has allowed for more effective and efficient flowline deployment and retrieval even in the most demanding environments. The key characteristics of the pipe are its flexibility, corrosion resistance, and the ability to handle extreme pressure and tensile loads.

Tensile Armouring Machines

The basic function of the Tensile Armouring Machine is to apply a layer of round or rectangular steel strip onto the flexible pipe being produced. The angle, speed and size of strip that is applied are determined by the flexible pipe specification.
