Offshore Inland Hydraulic Provides
The Fix
Established in 1983 to provide timely,
cost effective hydraulic remanufacturing services to the pulp and
paper, marine, offshore and steel industries, Offshore Inland Services
has
dominated this niche. To extend its expertise
within the oceangoing marine and offshore industry, the company formed
a second group to provide a more concentrated focus. A turnkey service
provider, Offshore Inland Marine & Oilfield Services is known throughout
the industry for providing quick turnaround while maintaining high
quality and controlled costs.
The company has often been referred to
as the “shipyard on wheels,” as it is willing to meet its
customer’s needs, wherever those needs may be, oftentimes dispatching
crews of 10-15 workers to locales near and far. The company recently
expanded its facilities to accommodate growing levels of business.
The new waterfront
location - boasts all the features necessary to complete large-scale
marine and oilfield projects including unobstructed access to the
Gulf of Mexico. Located at 7611 Lake Rd. South, Bldg. 500, Mobile,
Ala.

marine industries. The new location has a 600-ft. (82.8-m) double
deck concrete pier, 970-ft. (295.6-m) of total bulkhead area and

turning basin 55 ft. (16.7 m) deep and 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) in diameter.
Offshore Inland Marine & Oilfield Services new facility also

Recent
projects the company has taken on , prior to moving to its new
operation,
include several jobs (vessels Leonard Jones, Amos Runner and
Max Smith) for Noble Drilling. Work involved a variety of improvements,
specifically
on Leonard Jones, which received new shell shakers and a flare
boom piping system. Max Smith underwent structural repairs to
bulkheads
on its pontoon.
Offshore Inland also took on a project for
Haliburton’s
Semi II, replacing its hot/cold piping system in the accommodation
area, as well as the provision of accommodation modules.
One
of Offshore’s
more formidable jobs was completed last summer on Cal Dive International’s
