RBG USA, a subsidiary of Aberdeen group RBG, is claiming an industry first.
It says it will be the first offshore service company to introduce new-generation 55,000psi ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water-jetting machines to Gulf of Mexico oil rigs.
RBG USA added that the machines were each equipped with three operating lances, compared with only two for the traditional 40,000psi machines.
The added capacity is said to allow for higher productivity and more flexibility on board, delivering a more cost-effective maintenance programme.
RBG USA offshore operations manager Malcolm Davies sees the new machines as key to RBG’s continued growth in the specialist coating business.
He said: “Today’s economy and clients’ continued need for optimising the cost effectiveness of their operations – while also preserving the value and compliance of their assets – invites service providers to look for innovative and integrated solutions.
“RBG is a one-stop service provider, covering a lot of bases, and the new UHP equipment provides us flexibility and better operating efficiency.”
RBG is a UK and international provider of construction support, fabric maintenance and related services, employing more than 5,000 people.
