Topside Installation
SWOS works alongside customers to custom design rigging modules that increase the efficiency and safety of lifting motors, winches, jackets, piles, shims and other topside equipment for installation on platforms.
Our synthetic rigging systems are lightweight, easy to handle, and require less operators and deck space. Our goal is to drive unique solutions that improve safety while lowering your operating costs.
In addition to providing positioning lines for floatovers, SWOS works directly with engineers during the design phase of floatover projects to customize rigging systems for integrated topside projects all over the world. We specialize in full scale rigging systems for the installation of single barges, twin barges, deep water jacket structures, towers, jackets, and decks. Our strategy entails working with you from the very beginning of the planning stages to understand the scope of the floatover and determine compatible solutions that maximize efficiency and mitigate failure.
Riser Installation and Maintenance
SWOS’s synthetic solutions improve the speed and safety of riser installations.
At a seventh of the weight of wire, synthetic ropes lighten the total weight of the lift, resulting in faster connections and less injuries. SWOS will send an industry expert onsite to determine the best components and hardware that maximize the performance of the entire installation system.
Supply Vessel Mooring Systems
SWOS has long been a leading supplier of supply vessel mooring systems to oil and gas customers.
Through proper evaluation of your vessel, we can select just the right products for your mooring system including primary lines, secondary lines, pendants, chafe protection and hardware for your operations. With the SWOS Difference, our field experts will work with your team on abrasion mitigation, proper installation, and inspection training.
