The environment on an oil installation is
very tough.
Cables exposed to ozone, oil, mud, chemicals,
water, salt and UV will degrade over time.
Mechanical stress on cables and cable jackets
is caused by vibration and vessel movement.
These factors will reduce the lifetime of
your cables.
Damaged cables may be a serious safety issue
once their integrity is lost. Tests have shown
that damaged cables no longer meet their specification
in terms of fire performance.
Rerouting or replacing cables will normally
interrupt the operation and may involve extended
shut-down periods.
Fire Security produce cost effective coating
systems that can repair damaged cables and
protect your cables from environmental damage
and mechanical stress.
Our team use an approved method for repair
of damaged cables. First we investigate and
mitigate the root cause of the damage. 
If the outer sheath and the cable's screen is damaged,
we clean the affected area, and rebuild
the screen by use of a metal shielding tape.
We then apply FS-5 coating. A fibre mesh is
used to gain mechanical strength and as support
for the coating. The repaired cable is tied
in place and coated with the other cables on the tray.
The excellent properties of the
coating will restore the cable value and upgrade
the cables fire performance in accordance
with the highest standards.
A normal cable will degrade over time depending on the environment.
FS coated cables slow down this process dramatically.
Our solution will extend the lifetime of your
cables with no interruption of the operation.
Fire Security may also investigate and determine
the causes of premature aging of your cables.
FS1 coating system has been tested on an 1100 degrees Celsius oil fire - for more than 1 hour -
without any problem to the insulation
or the electrical properties.
Normal cables such as flame retardant and
fire resistant cables cannot withstand such a fire.
Our coating systems will guarantee that your cables will function properly under such a fire
and be reusable afterwards.
FS coating systems have been approved by leading
international classification societies.
The coatings are water based and do not contain
any toxic material.
Aging tests show the long term benefits.
