PROJECT:
Our hydraulics team we asked to refurbish the existing pipework on the Lough Foyle Dredger. Everyone knows about the effect of corrosion on a ship’s hull, but few people consider the effect of corrosion on piping. Pipes pose a hidden danger, a danger that is often neglected. As a ship ages, so does the piping system.
SOLUTION:
Maintenance is not always easy, as pipes, unlike the hull, are difficult to examine because of their number and inaccessibility. In this projecttwo of our engineers spent over a week on board the the Lough Foyle dredger refitting all of the steel pipes.
RESULT:
The ship owners proactive approach avoided catastrophic loss that can result from pipe failure. Reduce downtime and increase efficiency with support from our hydraulic engineering team.
