GIE GROUP

Ensure the integrity of your hoses through a comprehensive recertification process

We help Operations, Safety and Environment managers in the Oil & Gas and Marine Terminals sectors to evaluate and guarantee the structural and functional integrity of their floating and submarine marine hoses, critical elements in hydrocarbon transfer operations.

Achieve safe operations with your hoses, minimize leak risks and comply with the most demanding OCIMF, SMOG and ISGOTT regulations, thanks to our recertification service, which includes detailed visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, vacuum analysis and electrical verification.

Marine Hoses: A Critical Link in the Offshore Transfer Chain

Floating and underwater marine hoses represent a practical and widely used solution in the industry for transporting hydrocarbons between platforms, vessels, monobuoys, and onshore facilities.

The integrity of the hoses used in these types of operations is therefore of great importance when it comes to minimizing the risk of leaks and the resulting product losses and environmental impact involved in offshore operations.

These hoses are exposed to a variety of risks, ranging from damage caused by third parties, displacement by tides, vessels, platforms, or storms, damage caused by bending stresses during operations, lifting maneuvers, or damage caused in storage.

Comprehensive solutions to ensure the integrity and safety of marine hoses

Hose Recertification Service

This service involves a series of inspections and tests on each individual hose section to determine its suitability for service and certify its ability to operate safely.

The proposed activities align with international standards such as OCIMF, SMOG, and ISGOTT. GIE GROUP has specialists with extensive experience in on-site hose recertification, both onshore and offshore (on vessels or platforms), and across a wide range of diameters and configurations.

Obsolete Hose Condition Analysis Service

This service involves studying hoses that, after reaching the end of their service life, are designated for final disposal.

Through a series of activities, including longitudinal and transversal cuts of flanges and defects, material analysis, microscopy, dimensional surveys, among others, the goal is to determine the active damage mechanisms and their degree of progression. This provides empirical information that contributes to building a database to identify and mitigate potential integrity risks for units in service.

Failure Analysis Service

This study aims to determine the causes that led to a specific failure.

It can help prevent its recurrence in the future, provide an objective view in situations involving insurance companies, or offer support in the event of a claim against the manufacturer.
