Innovation often begins with a problem worth solving. 💡 The XI Clamp is one of those stories. We are proud to share our new case-study film showcasing how the XI Clamp was developed: an engineering solution developed through close collaboration between IK Topside and Shell. The journey began with a challenge in hot bolting and flange management: the need for a safer, more controlled, and more reliable approach. Together, we explored the concept, refined the design, and transformed the XI Clamp from an idea into a field-ready tool. Our new film captures this process, the challenge, the collaboration, and the engineering decisions that shaped the final solution. It highlights what becomes possible when expertise aligns with a shared commitment to safety and performance. Watch the story behind the XI Clamp: from concept to success. #energy #engineering #flangemanagement #maintenance #collaboration Disclaimer: https://lnkd.in/gi_wDYdR

A challenge of a lifetime — and a collaboration we’re incredibly proud of. 🤩 Replacing a critical valve at Statkraft’s Blåsjø reservoir — the largest in Northern Europe, holding 7.8 TWh (the same as Oslo’s annual electricity consumption) — came with one major obstacle: the valve could not be isolated in any conventional way. If left unsolved, the consequence would have been dramatic: a potential drainage equivalent to 5 billion NOK. That’s where the collaboration began. 💡 IK Topside is widely known in the oil and gas industry for its expertise in positive isolation on pressurised systems, and this project was a unique opportunity to transfer that competence into the hydropower sector. Together with Statkraft, we set out to engineer a safe, efficient, and completely drain-free solution — enabling the valve to be replaced without shutting down the reservoir. This case study captures exactly what drives our IK Topside team: tackling problems that no one else can solve, designing solutions where standard methods fall short, and supporting customers when the stakes are high. Watch the full story — a documentary-style film that takes you behind the scenes of this extraordinary operation, the challenges, the collaboration, and the people who made it possible. #IKTopside #Statkraft #Hydropower #Oilandgas #energy Powered by IK Group

Meet Thyra — the world’s first pink AOGV. 🩷 In an industry defined by steel and strength, pink isn’t a colour you often see. But maybe it should be. Because behind every pipeline and every project, there are people — and among them, lives touched by breast cancer. That’s why Izomax decided it was time to make its support visible — not just in words or once a year, but through the work it does every day. Thyra is pink — proudly, purposefully pink. Named by Izomax employees after an Old Norse queen known for her strength, Thyra – the Pink AOGV – was created to carry a message far beyond engineering: hope, resilience, and support for those affected by breast cancer. Each time she’s deployed to a project, Izomax will make a donation to the Pink Ribbon campaign — both in its name and in the name of the client she serves. Thyra now stands proudly assembled at the Izomax headquarters — ready for her first mission and ready to carry, globally, a message that matters far beyond engineering. To everyone fighting, supporting, researching, or remembering — this one’s for you. 💗 We at IK Group are immensely proud of the Izomax team for this initiative. And to Rosa Sløyfe and Kreftforeningen, thank you for the incredible work you do — every single day. #oilandgas #rosasløyfe #CSR #GivingBack #AOGV
