Despite being a global player, a specialist provider of installations and trenching services to the offshore industry has domestically sourced two custom-designed and - fabricated reels for vital parts of its operations.
Ocean Trenching operates crawler class ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) as part of its specialist marine contractor providing subsea trenching capabilities to large industries including power cable installers, telecommunications companies, oil and gas industries and others.
Its hydraulic hose reels used for power distribution to all subsea equipment are an integral part of the operation, so often reels have a specific design for a unique purpose.
More recently, Ocean Trenching contracted another Australian company, ReCoila, to design, manufacture and deliver two unique reels that are of hot dipped galvanised structure to ensure they can operate close to a marine environment.
One of them is being used as a water hose storage reel, the other as a hydraulic hose umbilical reel that runs up a hydraulic power unit and goes down subsea to link with the crawler class ROV.
“When we saw our requirement, we enquired through a high-end industry connection for its advice on who can best supply customised hydraulic hose reels and they pointed us towards ReCoila,” said Ocean Trenching’s Tom Wilson.
“WE are a global supplier ourselves and have demanding clients that require sub-sea installation of various technologies including power cables, communications lines, pipelines, fibre optic cables and drilling services.
“It is critical we avoid downtime, so the customised reels sourced from ReCoila were engineered for extensive duty cycles regardless of whether demand is low or high.”
ReCoila was able to design as well as manufacture both these large reels at its head office and manufacturing plant in Sydney.
The project is yet another addition to the company’s growing list of customised solutions for energy, mining, construction and marine sectors.
ReCoila is a manufacturer providing an extensive range of Australian made hose cord and cable reels.
This range is supplemented with selected products from renowned quality manufacturers in the USA and Europe, amounting to a comprehensive range of hose, cord and cables reels.
The company has been manufacturing quality hose reels for 35 years, servicing both domestic and international markets.
Its range of reels includes composite spring rewind hose and cable reels, fabricated steel reels in powder coated finish, stainless steel and aluminium with hand crank, and motorised versions.
Ocean Trenching provides subsea cable installation and trenching services to clients in both the offshore oil & gas and renewables markets. It is a global operator based on the central coast of NSW.
Its subsea cable Trenchers ROV are capable of 3.3m cable burial ether by chain cutting, jetting or rock saw attachment.
The company provides installation and trenching of submarine cables and umbilical's to most markets including oil & gas operators and contractors, energy companies, offshore wave energy developers, project management & engineering houses as well as product manufacturers.
Ocean Trenching Technologies capabilities include onshore and offshore subsea and submarine cable and pipeline trenching, umbilicals as well as remedial and de-burial services.
