Markets and Solutions

Enabling production of longer length cables without inline factory joints in the components. Thereby reducing cost and machine down-time and increasing production capacity and reliability.

Patent application submitted for an innovative thermoplastic hose liner solution allowing HCR hoses to be vertically deployed at deeper water depths in annulus umbilicals.

Patent granted for high strength steel tube termination solution, supporting JDR's development of steel tube umbilicals for deeper water depths.

JDR maintain a long term commitment to technical excellence through extensive representative testing using our in-house test rigs at the Littleport Facility.

Key milestone with the installation of a state-ofthe-art 16-carrier HLM at Hartlepool facility. This advancement significantly enhanced JDR`s manufacturing capacity, allowing for the production of complex configurations of steel tube umbilicals.

1st Steel Tube Flying Lead project.

1st Steel Tube Hybrid Umbilical incorporating a combination of steel tubes, thermoplastic hoses, LV cables and fibre optic cables.

Self Supporting Piling Hammer Umbilical, utilising bespoke terminations which incorporate dual redundant LV cable longitudinal water-blocking at the subsea end.

Multiple Deepwater ESP Pump Umbilicals, including full qualification of LV cable inline factory joints.

Largest 10 x IWOCs Umbilical and Reeler Project.

Key test results of an umbilical system include achieving a Tensile Break of 441 kN, a Termination Break of 338 kN, and enduring 500 cycles at 100 kN during Fatigue Testing. Post-test dissection revealed minor fiber dusting, with the strength remaining 95% intact. Prototype qualification was successful in January 2010.

First wave energy project, utilising bespoke designed, application specific, subsea dry-mate connections.

Machine upgrades enabling increased layup production capabilities.

Enabling cost effective production of cables and significant expansion of manufacturing capacity.

1st Subsea Power Cable manufactured in Hartlepool

Patent granted for double donut style termination system for open water IWOCS umbilicals more efficient and safer intervention operations and deeper water depths.

First project utilising JDR’s newly patented IWOCS Self Supporting Umbilical with double donut high strength termination.

Dynamic Thermoplastic Production Umbilicals.

This milestone represents a significant advancement in subsea technology, combining the flexibility of a thermoplastic umbilical with the leak-tight reliability of a steel tube umbilical. It proves substantial enhancements in safety, reliability, and environmental protection for customers’ installations, establishing a new standard in offshore operations.

With a diverse range of pre--qualified hoses for offshore use. Our standard, medium, and high-collapse hoses cater to shallow to ultra-deepwater projects in the GOM, Brazil, and West Africa. Currently we can offer hoses up to 20,000 psi working pressure for HT/HP projects, ensuring suitability for 90°C operational temperature.

First JDR/WD Close IWOCS Umbilical supplied with integrated Reeler System. This important milestone marks the start of JDR’s capability to supply the completed umbilical & reeler system.

First Dynamic Thermoplastic Production Umbilical.

Integrated Test Tree Umbilical and NIM Reeler Systems.

Enabling production of IWOCS umbilicals, SPU and SSIV umbilicals in addition to thermoplastic hose and LV cable components.

JDR made a significant milestone in 1993 by supplying its first Dynamic subsea control umbilical for BP’s Swift project. This marked a crucial step forward in subsea technology, showcasing advancements in control systems and underwater infrastructure.
