Baku — Custom Drive Shaft & Hose System
500m SoluForce H-515 on a 4.5m drum with a custom drive shaft, built and shipped in one week.
A client called on a Friday afternoon. They needed a 500m length of 6ND SoluForce H-515 hose on a deployment drum. We carry that ready to go. The challenge was a custom drum drive to match equipment in Baku.
Working from the original manufacturing drawings, our machinists, welders, and technicians produced a custom drive shaft, butterfly and bearing assembly, fitted them to the 4.5m drum, tested everything, and prepared the unit for shipment within one week.
Our logistics provider Logitrans evaluated everything from air freight via Antonov Airlines to sea. Sea won — 32 days to Poti, Georgia, then 4 days overland to the client’s base in Baku.
"The ability to respond to complicated technical challenges more efficiently than their competitors, without jeopardizing the highest industry safety and quality standards, makes FCS an indispensable support function for our ongoing global, subsea pipeline operations."
