The CAPVs are being manufactured at our modern plant at Vige, Kristiansand, Norway. Modern due to the degree of automation, a high focus on LEAN, 5S and a quality system according to ISO 9001:2008. The production of the CAPVs is based upon an inner liner, which enters the winding machine for adding glass & epoxy in an automated process, to achieve the required strength and fatique properties. Finally, the winded CAPVs are cured in a curing owen prior to final pressure testing with water (1.5x working pressure).

The wire sheaves are being produced and assembled at our parent company Umoe Mandal, in dedicated and tailor-made production lines.

Essential production equipment:

  • Winding Machine
  • Curing owen
  • Welding machine for PE-welding
  • Painting cabin
  • 3 & 5T Cranes
  • Test station for hydrostatic testing up to 480 bars
  • Test station for leakage testing with Nitrogen up to 320 bars
  • Test station for fatique and burst testing of accumulators (up to 1000 bars) with online surveillance
