Subsea friction stud welding attachment technology
Range of friction welding services
An alternative surface solution for structural upgrade or remediation projects.
Claxton’s range of friction welding services can provide an alternative solution for structural upgrade or remediation projects. From subsea pipeline repair or cathodic protection retrofit, attachments of cofferdams to allow for repair to topside structural upgrade requiring a bolted solution or attachment of monitoring sensors, as well as other offshore/onshore tasks, our systems have been proven to withstand the harshest of marine environments.

The HMS 3000 friction welding system
The HMS 3000 friction welding system is hydraulically powered and controlled via laptop and primarily used for subsea applications. The system can be fully integrated with an ROV or used by divers. The system can also be fitted with subsea stud changing capabilities. Common applications are the attachment of anodes on subsea structures, assets, live pipelines and FPSOs.
