Umbilical Testing Containers
Our team has decades of expertise in providing umbilical inspection and testing solutions across the offshore energy and oil & gas sectors.
To support these operations, Motive supplies comprehensive services and specialised Umbilical Testing Containers. Services include everything from flushing and pressure testing to the professional splicing of cables and hydraulic lines.

Umbilical Testing Containers
Our purpose-built Umbilical Testing Containers provide an integrated solution that saves valuable deck space by consolidating pumps and testing kits into a single, QHSE-focused unit.
Motive Umbilical Testing Containers wirelessly monitor the continuity of copper and fibre optic conductors during installation, including umbilical hose and tube pressures. The integrated container provides a dedicated office space to track all testing data in one place.
This “plug and play” system creates a safer working environment and provides better recording with enhanced reliability. Sea-fastened and ready to go to work, vessel time is vastly reduced.
