As a primary contractor for Yorkshire water, the TEXO team was asked to investigate a screen fault. When our engineer got to the site, he found that the hydraulic system was non-operational. He was able to gather all the relevant information to make a fic-or-replace plan.
Utilising the Asset Integrity rope access team, we returned to the site and completed a maintenance overhaul of the hydraulic ram, where we found that the hose was damaged close to the screen. We fabricated replacement hoses and upgraded to armoured pipe to prolong the life of the asset.
The rope access team removed and reinstalled the new pipework and completed a comprehensive system test.
The wide array of skills required to complete this scope of work, from hydraulic technicians and skilled rope access operators to specialist engineers meant that we were able to complete the whole job using our in-house capabilities. The fact that we could re-engineer the ram arm onsite meant zero downtime for our client.
Appreciate the help with this project – not many companies can cover the wide scope of work under one PO and manager.” Liam Gowen, Yorkshire Water.
