As ISS began operating hydraulic snubbing equipment in 1982, we immediately determined a need to customize the equipment then available on the market to suite our requirements. None of the manufacturers were especially agreeable to modifying the equipment to ISS’ specifications. As we were progressing to increasingly larger and more difficult work, ISS determined that building its own equipment would have several advantages.
· Establishing an in-house production facility to oversee quality control of manufacturing.
· Building rigs matched to specific projects with customer input.
· Eliminating non-essential equipment prone to give trouble.
· Continuously improving component reliability thru R & D.
· Building more powerful equipment run at conservative settings for longevity.
· Developing specialized tools to improve productivity.
All of the above have added to the capabilities of ISS in our field operations. We seldom build a copy. We are constantly improving our products, and work closely with our subcontractors to give suggestions as to what could be done to improve their products. TOGETHER, WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE.
