Hardware & Control Systems
An inherent part of any subsea system is third party vendor supplied hardware and control systems, such as Xmas trees, flow meters, switch gear, tranformers etc. The supply of such systems is dominated by a number of global hardware companies and at Xodus we have made it our business to understand the products available from these suppliers. This knowledge enables our subsea consultants to assist in determining system functional requirements and how these requirements can be met by available hardware.
Our involvement in the specification and procurement of subsea hardware spans the delivery cycle from definition of an initial functional requirement to the management of the procurement of the equipment and associated interfaces.
Typically, Xodus supports the selection and procurement of subsea hardware and controls from the conceptual phase to delivery via a ‘package engineering’ role. The key aspect of such procurement processes is managing the interface with the vendor. We establish links with suppliers to ensure that all parties are aligned. A key benefit for our clients is our independence that enables impartial decisions to be made, resulting in the optimum outcome.
