COMPLETES LARGEST REEL BUILD TO DATE Rental equipment firm Hiretech Limited has completed the build of its largest IWOCS rental reel to date.

The reel was designed and built in less than 12 weeks at the company’s headquarters at Fintray near Dyce, to meet a client deadline, prior to shipment to West Africa.

Andy Buchan, CEO at Hiretech, commented, “With a capacity for 2,500m of 115mm umbilical for subsea well installation and workover control systems, this is our largest powered umbilical reel build to date. Using proven Hiretech technologies, we were able to guarantee our delivery date against the uncertainties currently experienced in the supply chain. The design includes client specified interfaces to enable a smooth and efficient deployment once on location.”

Hiretech Limited, which offers equipment rental and personnel supply to support hydraulics, well service, pipeline, chemical cleaning, decommissioning, subsea and renewable activities, has gained credibility through the successful delivery of a range of global projects.

The company’s rental range includes pumping spreads, umbilical reels, subsea shears, grabs and ancillary equipment, as well as personnel hire to support onshore and offshore operations.
