Energy supply systems for drilling equipment

Heavy loads, high forces, and adverse environmental conditions: We develop robust and durable plastic energy chains and accessories to guide hydraulic lines and power and signal cables on onshore and offshore drilling rigs such as drilling vessels and drilling platforms.
The diverse areas of application – from guiding the top drive to the cantilever to pipe handling – require long vertical travels on the drilling rig or cable weights of over 200kg/m on the drill skid. Installed in exposed areas, they must also withstand wind and weather and a corrosive environment on a daily basis.
In addition to completely pre-assembled energy chains, our own engineering service – from planning to final acceptance – also ensures fast installation and commissioning and a high level of planning reliability for the oil and gas industry.
