Problem solved
Our customer who specialises in subsea project solutions, were looking for a portable HP pump for deep water robotic water blasting.
Some of the design scope key points were, sea water compatible, off shore lift compliant, over speed protection, spark arrestor, remote pressure control and most importantly a small foot print due to the space premium on off-shore platforms.
Why a Metco A325 UHP
We responded quickly with our A325 HP pump set installed in custom designed and built Offshore lift DNV specification 10 foot container.
The custom DNV containers were designed with a strengthened floor to accommodate the point loads of the pump set and safety tied machine mounts used to cope with the high G forces generated in rough seas.
The container design utilised double opening doors for easy access to the engine and pump, plus hatches to the radiator and hose connections.
Six container pump sets were designed, manufactured, tested and commissioned over a tight timeline with minimal fuss.

The design concept
Oceaneering needed a Ultra High Pressure pump that could be easily moved, with very low emissions. That’s why we designed and engineered it, so it would, fit into a 10ft container.
Fitted with a Cummins 325 HP Tier 3 Diesel, and a large 550 Lt fuel tank. It also featured a Jetstream 4200 pump.
Of course, safety and ease of use was a concern so standard remote E/stop and pump start/stop buttons were fitted.
The end result
• Pressure pump, charge pump, filter housings and plumbing setup for sea water.
• 15, 20 or 40KPsi pressure conversion sets.
• DNV spec offshore lift 10’ container
• SS exhaust with spark arrestor
• Engine over speed auto strangler
• Desktop remote control system
• Fully sealed for sea spray protection when not in use.
• Double side doors (4) for easy access to engine and pump
• Pump can be removed or refitted into the container with minimal time and effort.
• Reinforced container floor and roof eliminates container flex.
• DNV spec coatings to ensure long life in demanding offshore environment.
