Scorpion Oceanics Limited was formed by the present Board of Directors to
provide the Offshore and Nuclear Industries with an efficient, competitive
and reliable source of cables, connectors, ropes, terminations and mouldings for use
in harsh environments.
The company’s operations are based on four main activities:
-
Termination and overmoulding of cables and connectors .-
Supply of cables and high modulus fibre ropes as agents for Cortland Cable Company
Inc. of Cortland, USA and Puget Sound Rope Inc. of Anacortes, USA. -
Supply of metal shelled, glass reinforced epoxy and rubber moulded underwater
electrical connectors as agents on behalf of Birns Inc, Oxnard, USA. -
Supply of Jupiter and Souriau Underwater and Nuclear Electrical Connectors for
Souriau Connection Technology.
Scorpion Oceanics activities are centred around the following markets:
-
Defence -
Seismic -
ROV -
Oceanography -
Nuclear -
Diving
Much of the work undertaken involves the
use of polyurethane for overmoulding and encapsulation. The Company employs several
types of polyurethane castomer systems, each one being chosen according to the
type of substrate, application and location. Scorpion Oceanics introduced
polyethylene moulding and encapsulation in the summer of 1999. Skilled termination
technicians are available to undertake work in-house, on-site or offshore.
The Company employs CAD facilities for the design of connectors and termination
systems. Many strain terminations have been designed and supplied for tow cables
and ROV main lift umbilicals etc. Some of these systems incorporate integral
universal joints allowing the required movement of the termination at critical
times such as deployment and recovery, whilst the cable connection remains stress
free. Terminations are typically supplied in 316 Stainless Steel, Titanium and
Marine Bronze. Cables incorporating optical fibres are regularly terminated
with proprietary connectors and purpose designed strain terminations.
With over 100 years combined experience in these industries, we know what
customers expect and it has always been our policy to provide products and
services that delight. Scorpion Oceanics operate a Quality Management System
approved by BM Trada to BS EN ISO 9001:2000. All design and manufacturing is
carried out at the company’s facility in North West Essex, which is adjacent to the
M11 Motorway, between Cambridge and London Stansted Airport.
