Field Inspections

“Inspection and repair alone are not sufficient to mitigate the risk of unplanned hose failure. Correctly identifying and addressing the actions arising from inspection data is fundamental to achieving FHA reliability.”

EnerMech has one of the largest specialist hose inspection teams in the UK.

Our inspectors have specific experience in conducting comprehensive hose inventory assessments, complete with recommendations for improving design and extending the useful life of the hoses.

We understand that the generation and maintenance of an accurate hose register underpins all subsequent activities. It is therefore key that those involved in its accuracy and currency are both competent and accountable for it.

Onsite Manufacture and Testing

EnerMech can provide offshore ready 12ft x 10ft hose workshop containers and mobile flushing units to allow the manufacture, test and flushing of the majority of hoses onsite for larger repair activities.

EnerMech's fleet of hose workshop containers have been designed in-house to offer a compact, safe hose manufacturing capability that can be deployed in harsh environments.

Tooling and equipment are modular and can be changed out to suit the demands of the project.

These units have proved to be key during shutdown and planned maintenance activites, allowing for modifications and repairs to be done in situ. These units have been very popular and our fleet continues to expand.

Integrity Management

Ineffective Flexible Hose Assemblies (FHAs) are serious contributors to the loss of process containment. In many potentially dangerous areas, defects and failures can compromise safety and environmental performance and contribute to unplanned shutdowns.

EnerMech provide a reference framework of management, technical controls and procedures which, when applied, will ensure the continued integrity of FHAs. This includes supply of competent hose inspectors and fitters through to provision of a bespoke and robust online hose management system.

EnerMech's hose management service complies with and is fundamentally based on the Energy Institute's ‘Guidelines for the Management of Flexible Hose Assemblies’. In addition, these guidelines were reviewed and published by the Energy Institute in February 2011 and have been revised by a steering group which included three members of EnerMech's Hose Management team.

We have extended our processes, procedures and capabilities to this extent to ensure immediate compliance with this publication.
