Expertise That Goes Deeper

 

Maintaining the UK’s nuclear submarine fleet demands precision, reliability, and trusted partners.

When the Royal Navy required a major 10-year overhaul of its submarine simulator’s hydraulic hose systems, ERIKS was called in. With strict security clearances, confined working conditions, and a tight deadline that could not be missed, ERIKS’ Hose Technology experts delivered a comprehensive hose replacement and upgrade, ensuring operational readiness for one of the UK’s most critical defence assets.
