Equipment Overhaul and Refurbishment

Maximise returns from your assets through life extension and performance improvement

At MDL we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to excellence and precision in design, focusing on solutions that stand the test of time.

We have been designing and delivering equipment to withstand harsh marine environments since 1999. In that time, we have developed a hands-on knowledge of what ensures safe and reliable operations in challenging offshore conditions.


Repair and rebuild

When your equipment begins to falter or stops working completely, it does not mean it has reached the end of its working window. An expert overhaul may restore its performance and safely extend its service life.

The repair process includes detailed evaluation, replacement of damaged or obsolete components and implementation of improvements to ensure continued reliability and efficiency, followed by rigorous testing to prove functionality and compliance with all standards.

Comprehensive documentation is included, giving you a clear record of all changes.


Reverse engineering and recertification

Leveraging 20+ years of engineering expertise, our skilled team specialises in analysing complex structures to provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations for improvement - even when the original documentation is missing.

This expertise becomes crucial when dealing with outdated systems and a lack of manuals to reinstate or update them. When compounded by an unavailable OEM, these systems can quickly become a burden to you. That's where we come in: We re-engineer the obsolete components and make sure that your fleet boasts a system as good as new.

Recertification complements this process by verifying that re-engineered equipment meets current regulatory standards and operational requirements. From structural evaluations to compliance certifications, we restore confidence in your assets’ safety and performance.


Commissioning, FAT and load testing

Ensuring your equipment is fully operational and ready for use is critical to achieving project success. Commissioning marks the final step before it transitions from assembly and setup to full operational deployment.

Comprehensive testing in the workshop and in-situ validates the functionality and applicability of your refurbished assets before deployment, ensuring safe and predicable operations from day one.

Our testing services include:

  • System checks: Verifying that all components function as designed, both individually and as part of the integrated system
  • Operational simulation: Testing performance under expected conditions to uncover potential issues
  • Compliance validation: Ensuring adherence to industry and regulatory standards
  • Documentation and reporting: Providing insights and recommendations for compliance and readiness

Documentation package

Accurate documentation is essential for compliance, operational readiness and supporting your team’s workflows. Whether it’s testing, recertification, commissioning or overhaul, our tailored documentation packages provide all critical information, including performance data, test results, operational records and certification reports aligned with industry standards. Maintenance guidance is provided to help maximise asset lifespan, along with a full history of modifications, upgrades and repairs performed.

Whether it’s testing, recertification, commissioning or overhaul, our documentation package ensures you have all the information you need.
