Energy

Our skilled and highly experienced engineers continually design and develop advanced specialist hyperbaric testing systems for world-leading oilfield service companies and energy providers that are continually developing new and innovative subsea products and technology, for use in harsh challenging environments.

KW Designed Solutions are trusted in providing cost-effective reliable, specialised hyperbaric testing platforms that capture and report real-life data when subsea connectors are continually mating and de-mating in development and production testing, performing under extreme pressures and temperatures that are used for powering installations deep on the seabed.

The offshore oil and gas industry demand that wet-mate electrical connectors used for power, control and communications are rigorously tested to prove their robustness and reliability in the most realistic and severe operating environments, in line with API standards.

The fully automated control systems allows the user to simulate the functionality, operation and connectivity of the connectors whilst under immense pressures, ensuring reliability after hundreds of cycles, with pre-defined programmable functions completed with data logging and reporting capabilities.

Energy

We design and manufacture highly specialised hyperbaric pressure testing systems to enable OEMs to perform rigorous testing regimes on equipment and technology used for the exploration and recovery of oil and gas in challenging environments.

Subsea

KW supply hyperbaric pressure testing systems directly to OEMs, who develop subsea technologies and products used in marine and ocean engineering for use in extreme, harsh deep water locations.

Materials Science

Over many years we have designed, manufactured and supplied advanced HPHT autoclave testing platforms to world-leading materials testing providers, that specialise in the analysis and testing of specific materials, making certain that these materials are safe, quality and compliant, where failure is never an option.
