Umbilical winch – overhaul

An offshore umbilical winch was fully refurbished and upgraded to support continued operation in demanding marine environments. The scope included complete disassembly, inspection, structural refurbishment, hydraulic upgrades, electrical modifications, surface treatment and full functional testing before return to service.

The project demonstrates how existing offshore assets can be modernized and maintained to current operational requirements without the cost and lead time associated with manufacturing new equipment.

The winch was dismantled into individual assemblies, allowing inspection of critical components including drum bearings, support structures, gearbox arrangements and spooling equipment. Wear components such as bearings, seals, chains and brake components were replaced where required.
