Reservoir and testing basket for SSIV actuators in an EPC project

A European EPC contractor returned to Envirent after a successful collaboration in 2021, this time needing a compact SSIV basket for cleaning and pressure‑testing a subsea actuator. Envirent supplied a Center Pole Basket fitted with a Dirty Work Pack (DWP) and a 50 L compensator system, providing a separate hydraulic circuit for tools that could contaminate the ROV system.

The Dirty Work Pack isolates the oil flow and prevents contamination of the main hydraulic circuit and can be tailored to customer requirements with different pressure and flow setups. A smaller fluid reservoir was selected because the job did not require a full 1 100 L tank.

The basket was built as an evolution of a previous delivery for the same client (2021). During the factory acceptance test with the client, it became clear that extra lines were needed: one high‑pressure line for pressure testing and a low‑pressure line for flushing. These were integrated on the spot and verified, demonstrating Envirent’s agile process. Afterward, the team joined the vessel to run a familiarisation session with the ROV crew. The operation lasted from mid‑August to mid‑September 2025.
