Reel Power Oil & Gas Completes Milestone, 20,000lbs Testing of Catahead (Patented Pending) and LARS Platform


rov launch and recovery

Radoil power desert & DBA gas has just finished the main milestone in the patented testing unit drive for our launch platform and recovery system (LARS). After years of development, design, and testing, design engineers and Catuhead Reel Power technicians have successfully completed function testing at 20,000lbs. The next and final step in the Catuhead Evolution Design is to complete the life cycle testing of the ongoing durability at the Houston Facility, our TX located in West Rd & Beltway 8.

The CataAhead drive is empowered specifically designed for the Power rov launch and recovery reel system but can be installed on the Lars platform with minor modification. The Catahead drive eliminates the need for a large heavy duty winch system. Whether you lift a smaller component of ROV, Uta, or Subsea, Catahead is designed to adjust for heavy differential without the need to adjust tension and eliminate the possibility of a lift cable failure because of the knife.

The Catajead system is designed for:

·       Lower operating costs

·       Rewind Cable On-Board Ship, No Need to Return Winch to Shore

·       A total weight of 10-20%

·       Facilitate care needs

·       Give a smaller Lars trail

·       Free main deck - Position rolls on sub-decks or other locations

·       Catahead can handle other deployment operations - eliminate additional equipment

The Reel Power OG Patented Catahead Style rov launch and recovery (LARS) System transfers lifting power to a dual failsafe tractor curve mounted on the mast and is supplemented by failsafe double wedge slips that act as parking brakes and/or emergency stop brakes. Because of the relatively small catahead located on the mast, large heavy-duty winches are not required.

Catahead (patented) mounted on the extendable Mast/Boom, Latch & Rotate Module, Failsafe Parking & Emergency Stop Brake (patented), ROV Cable Reel (several patents), and Hydraulic Power unit comprise the entire ROV system. The Catahead with Mast/Boom, Umbilical Reel or IWOCS reel, Hydraulic Power unit, Downline Winch, and Subsea Control module are typical LARS for well intervention.

Launching & Recovery Systems

Image
  Launching and recovery systems are also known as LARS and are mainly used in the marine and offshore industry to launch or recover a lifeboat or any other marine equipment. Launching and recovery of marine unmanned equipment is always a high-risk job operation and can cause a life threat to the onboard crew. LARS has minimized this risk and has made the launch and recovery a bit easy. Any vehicle or any other payload is brought in or out of the host ship without any damage. This is a system on ship’s deck to recover anything from the water or launch anything in it. Let us see some uses of LARS systems. ·          In case of emergency, a lifeboat can be launched from this system without any outside help. ·          Launching any diving unmanned equipment. ·          Launching small boats. ·          Recovering of li...

A Guide to Cable Laying Tensioners: What You Need to Know

Image
Cable-laying tensioners play a crucial role in the installation and maintenance of cables. Whether for power transmission, telecommunications, or any other application involving cables, the proper tensioning of lines is essential for their longevity and optimal performance. This guide will explore the basics of cable-laying tensioners, their benefits and the key factors to consider when using them. So let’s dive in and discover what you need to know about cable laying tensioners. What are Cable Laying Tensioners? Cable-laying tensioners are special tools used to put the right amount of tension on cables when installed or maintained. They ensure the cables are appropriately stretched, and securely so they don’t sag or get too tight. If cables hang or get too close, they can cause problems and damage the wires. Cable laying tensioners come in different types, like mechanical, hydraulic, and electric, and each style has advantages and benefits. Please visit  offshore cable tensioner ...
