Supporting Fugro with Spooling, Load Testing and Fast Turnarounds

Centurion supported Fugro with critical equipment replacement and testing during a tight port call at AMC Henderson. Using specialised hydraulic spooling winches, fluid power systems and a team of NATA-accredited inspection personnel, we completed the works safely, on time, and without disrupting other contractors working on the vessel – helping Fugro stay on schedule and showcasing our local expertise and reliability.

The client

Fugro is a global leader in Geo-data and asset integrity solutions for major infrastructure and offshore projects. We’ve worked with Fugro for over a decade, building a strong working relationship based on trust, performance, and reliability.

Client requirements and challenges

Fugro engaged us to support maintenance works on the Fugro Etive while berthed at AMC Henderson. The project involved the replacement and testing of critical offshore equipment during a short port call – work that needed to be completed efficiently, safely, and without disruption to parallel work scopes, to keep the vessel’s next mobilisation on track.

They required:

Replacement of a 3,500m ROV umbilical, critical for subsea operations
Replacement and proof load testing of a 3,506m, 56mm offshore crane rope
NATA-accredited inspection services
Sustainable disposal of redundant rope

Our solution

As a trusted provider with extensive local experience, we deployed our Perth-based team and specialised rental equipment needed to deliver the job, including:

Specialised hydraulic spooling winches required to handle the 56mm diameter, 30 tonne reels of ROV umbilical and crane rope
A crew of trade-qualified technicians and mechanical service specialists
NATA-accredited inspection personnel
Fluid power systems that drive the winches
Pressure lubrication system to lubricate and preserve the crane rope
Water bag test weights for load testing the lifting equipment
Coordination with local company CD Dodd for recycling of materials.

Our team worked with Fugro and other contractors onboard, managing equipment interfaces and keeping operations running smoothly. We also shared practical advice that Fugro said saved them valuable hours – helping get the job done faster and within the tight timeframe.

The results

The job was completed safely, on time, and without impacting other works onboard
Client feedback highlighted our efficiency, attention to detail, and ability to enhance the schedule
Equipment and inspection personnel were deployed locally, saving the client time and money
