OMS awarded new patent

OMS has been awarded a new patent for a unique cable management system. Attributed inventors chief design engineer, Jack Parlane and OMS founder, Dr Tim Clarke, recognised the requirement for the system in 2018 when discussing a demanding pipeline inspection project. It required our equipment to navigate multiple pipe bends to perform weld inspection and analysis. Umbilical management is often an overlooked but highly critical component of any pipeline inspection service and having conceptualised the concept it was decided to file for a patent to protect the design. The new patent enables tethered crawler systems to navigate more bends than would be possible without such a device and demonstrates OMS's commitment to investing in innovation. We look forward to being able to put the design into production.
