Friction Stud Welding

About friction stud welding

Subsea and surface solutions for pipeline repair, cathodic protection, anode attachment and more

Our subsea friction stud welding systems have been proven to withstand the harshest of marine environments.

They can enable a wide range of subsea and topside intervention work including, repair of pipelines, retrofit of cathodic protection, attachment of monitoring sensors and structural repairs to offshore installations.

Friction stud welding can also provide an alternative solution for structural upgrade or remediation projects at the surface.

HMS 3000

The HMS 3000 friction welding system is primarily used for subsea applications. The system is hydraulically powered and controlled via a laptop. It can be fully integrated with an ROV or used by divers. The system can also be fitted with subsea stud-changing capabilities.

Common HMS 3000 applications include the attachment of anodes to subsea structures, assets, live pipelines and FPSOs.
