Subsea: Underwater Strain Terminations

• Terminations Design and Manufacture

  Hydro Group Systems designs and manufactures Subsea Underwater Terminations, Strain Terminations to client specifications. Our proven engineering expertise means that we can design Subsea Underwater Terminations, Strain Terminations for any underwater application. Hydro Group specialise in the design and manufacture of umbilical terminations. This termination work can be carried out at our facility in Aberdeen (Scotland) or at any desired site whether it be onshore or offshore.

• Termination Design Specifications

  Our designs range from fairly simple multi core cables to complex umbilicals containing many cable bundles together with strain and armour members. Each element of a cable is dealt with on an individual basis, e.g. central strain member; conductors; inner sheaths; armour braiding and finally the outer sheath. Water blocking inserts can be incorporated into the design to prevent water from spreading from one cable to another, should one or more fly leads be accidentally severed.

  A hot curing Polyurethane rubber is moulded around the completed termination. This particular rubber has excellent water and oil resistant properties and is ten times more resistant to water than polyester based urethanes. All cables and metal parts are cleaned and treated with primers to ensure proper chemical bonding of the urethane moulding. We can bond to most conventional cable sheath material including neoprene, hytrel, polyurethane, hyplaon etc.
