Engineering
project support
We offer a range of products, services, training and support to clients worldwide in the oil and gas, energy, and renewable power generation sectors. With over 240 years' combined engineering experience, our experts are your experts. From consulting to inspection, we are here to support your individual needs and to help you execute your engineering projects.
We are specialists in global asset integrity management, including: design, corrosion management, risk-based inspection, and flexible pipe riser and flowline integrity management.
The cost of training and maintaining experts internally can be significant for your business and take up valuable time that your team could be spending on other areas. Consulting our project management and integrity experts will allow you to meet necessary regulatory requirements, and help you execute your projects on schedule, at a reduced cost to your organisation.
We provide a wide range of services, from rapid technical advice via telephone or video call to training, and multi-disciplinary on-site support.

Integrity management
At The Impulse Group, we are leaders in the field of integrity management. Our extensive expertise means that our dedicated team of engineers understand HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment), HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study), and FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis). We can conduct field risk assessments for your organisation and identify preventative measures to manage risk and reduce operational costs.
System integrity and risk management aren’t a step at the end of a project – it is vital throughout the entire process. Integrity starts when the first materials are ordered, which is why we will be on hand to guide and advise. By planning for every scenario, you know what to expect and how to address risks.
Project delays can cost time, money, resources, and the reputation of your business. As experts in delivery and project management, we will support you and your team in the manufacture and delivery of flexible pipe projects all the way through to installation. With technicians based around the globe, we will be there when you need us.
The Impulse Group’s dedicated project managers and engineers will identify and highlight potential problems in expected delivery estimates and help you come up with solutions to keep your project on budget and on schedule
Delivery and project management
Engineering can be incredibly complex, especially with the sheer number of regulatory requirements your team must adhere to. An on-site representative from a third-party organisation can be incredibly valuable to your engineering projects. Providing a new perspective and an objective look at your systems may spot potential problems you have not noticed and can help ensure that your project is delivered to the right specifications and regulatory requirements.
Capable of covering a full range of subsea fabrication activities, our third-party inspectors have an in-depth understanding of different certifications, including:
-
API (American Petroleum Institute)
-
ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation)
-
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
-
DNVGL (Det Norske Veritas)
Third party inspection
Our project managers, engineers and consultants have extensive knowledge and technical expertise across a wide range of disciplines. This knowledge, combined with our solution based approach, enables us to understand every aspect of our customers’ engineering requirements and help them achieve their specific goals.
Our team are experienced in a range of areas including:
-
Oil and gas
-
Manufacturing
-
Asset integrity
-
Flexible design
-
Life extension
-
Failure investigation
-
Marketing
-
Logistics
-
Project development
We will work with you to find the perfect solution, whether that is a bespoke design, flexible pipe training, riser annulus testing, or engineering support.
Additional project needs
Our engineering experts have helped companies with pipeline delivery and project management, as well as a range of other services. Read about some of our recent projects below:
Recent delivery and project management
The Impulse Group has been involved with supplying specialist engineering resource into Baker Hughes Flexible Pipe Manufacturing in Newcastle, UK for many years now. We offer bespoke packages for project specific work covering everything from design through manufacturing and pipe delivery. We continue to support this work with Baker Hughes and are working with them on new scopes in flexible engineering.
We were approached by 2HOffshore riser engineers through our consultancy support contract with them to produce a test kit to undertake offshore testing of a riser which was potentially subject to breathing through the venting system which was not fitted with non-return valves. Our study involved designing and manufacturing a bespoke kit, mobilisation and reporting of the findings. Turns out risers can breath!
A standard polymer product from us for cable protection and our fast-lok bend restrictors were suppled to Dong Energy for a wind turbine project in the North Sea. Enquiry to manufacture and delivery within 4 weeks. Included in this scope were also some bespoke spacer modules which ensured regulation spacing was maintained between cable crossings.
Our standard positive pressure kit has been used twice on the Dana platform in the North Sea testing the integrity of flexible pipe outer sheath. The kit is easy to transport, adaptable and the results prove definitive for understanding each riser condition for future integrity management. These results are then fed into a fieldwide IMR plan.
The Impulse Group offer riser test kits for sale and Fairtex operate in West Africa as an integrity provider. The Impulse Group work alongside Fairtex for flexible pipe integrity supporting their business including the supply, maintenance and support for annulus testing.
We are an approved supplier for the US training company Petroskills and as such we often undertake the delivery of their Subsea Systems course on a global platform. These courses are run by field experts and we are proud to support them with out knowledge base.
Part of our business is to educate and train other engineers in the unique make-up of flexible pipe technology. We have adaptable training courses available from 1-5 days, on this occasion we were invited to provide the UK HSE with a full week of training on flexible pipe technology covering areas from design through manufacture, integrity management and inspection.
Our Technical Director Chris Spraggon was the author behind the Energy Institutes Non-Metallic Assessment Guidelines for flexible pipe and bonded hoses. The guidelines were compiled over a period of 2 years with publication in late 2021.
