Flex-lay Equipment Maintenance
Maximise returns from your assets through life extension and performance improvement
At MDL, we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to excellence 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 operational lifespan.
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.
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 the assets transition from assembly and setup to full operational deployment.
Comprehensive testing in-situ and in our workshop - thanks to our 200Te static, winch and mobile testbeds - validates the functionality and applicability of your refurbished assets before deployment, ensuring safe and predictable operations from day one.
Our testing services provide:
- System checks: Verifying that all components function as designed, both individually and as part of the integrated system
- Operational simulation: Our range of testbeds simulate dynamic, on-project conditions to ensure system readiness for deployment
- Compliance validation: Ensuring adherence to industry and regulatory standards
- Documentation and reporting: Providing insights and recommendations for compliance and readiness
Equipment repairs in-situ
Equipment breakdowns can bring operations to a standstill, leading to costly delays, missed deadlines and compromised project schedules.
We recognise the significant impact that these setbacks can have on your bottom line and apply our expert knowledge for prompt rectification; our multi-skilled technicians are equipped to handle a wide range of issues directly on-site, ensuring minimal interruption to your operations.
To get your asset back up and running in the shortest time possible and allow you to resume normal operations, trust the experts at One Team MDL.
Proactive maintenance
The success of your offshore operations hinges on the reliability and efficiency of your assets that are constantly exposed to harsh environments. To minimise the risks, we recommend you implement a proactive maintenance strategy.
This involves regular inspection and testing of critical equipment to identify and address potential issues before they lead to equipment failures or downtime. MDL hones a track record in performing routine asset maintenance in accordance with industry standards, such as annual surveys and 5-yearly inspections.
By performing structural assessments and corrosion control, we can identify and remedy any decay and degradation to your offshore structures - whenever possible as “desktop engineering” to minimise your POB.
Maintenance contract
With an MDL maintenance contract, you gain the peace of mind that your equipment is healthy while operational and quickly returned to action after experiencing a setback.
Providing advanced preventative care, we identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly disruptions. Each contract is tailored to your operational needs, providing flexibility, expertise and targeted support, while freeing your team up to focus on critical operations.
