The full service
Tobias Hammer & Thomas Rüdiger explore the benefits that on- and offshore players can reap from a complete service programme

T
he projects that are dealt with in the on- and offshore technology fields are, as a rule, very complex and not always managed by companies without external help. For cases such as this, the support of a global,
versatile service programme is invaluable. With its Complete Piping Solutions (CPS)
programme, amongst others, Parker Hannifin offers a modular constructed system; this offers the user all the important activities such as consultation on the design, manufacture and installation of hydraulic tubing systems. In the company’s many worldwide CPS centres, large-format tubes and flanges to suit customer requirements are designed, produced, connected up to a complete system and delivered directly to the installation location and assembled. In the first instance, the system engineers determine the customer’s requirements and on this basis develop a tubing layout design with drawings and documentation. After clearance by the customer, outside tube diameters up to 273mm are cold-formed on the latest CNC bending machines. Tis enables bend radii from 2 x D to 3 x D to be achieved, according to requirement. Te end- finished, cleaned tubes are then assembled to

customer requirements and delivered to the central warehouse for onward despatch. Ten, if required, the company’s experts
undertake the assembly, rinsing and final inspection of the tubing system. Tis service offers customers the possibility of significantly reorganising their own personnel and so save costs. Besides the complete programme, the customer can also call up individual activities as required from the service programme. Te on-site programme represents an extension of the CPS system at the installation location. For larger projects that stretch out over a longer time period, containers are kept ready at the construction site. Amongst others, the tubing and hose materials required for the project are stored there and processed on modern machines.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Once a project is completed, thoughts of planned maintenance are not far away. In this regard, the Parker Tracking System Pro (PTS Pro) has proved to be very helpful. Te tubing and flange systems made by the company are provided with a barcode. Te information stored in the barcode, as for example tube dimensions, material variants and
