A team from Hydraft Subsea took part in a charity raft race over the River Tay in April. The conditions were far from ideal with strong winds, freezing temperatures and snow showers. Despite this our team set the second fastest time of the day!

Hydrafit are currently developing a new electro-hydraulic deep water installation and work over control system designed for use in water up to 3000m deep.

Andy Fisher, Technical Director commented:

The system is designed to be compact and can be mobilised from a dive vessel or rig. In addition we have also used our experience of planting over 50 trees to ensure the unit can be deployed, services installed and operational in the minimum of time.

Current projections for the system to be completed design development by end of 1st quarter 2008 and ready to reach market by end 4th quarter 2008.

We are using the experience of successfully planting over 50 trees.
