Hayata Secures Spy Island Project

GAS PlantJust off Alaska’s North Slope sits Spy Island, home to the offshore production site of Eni Petroleum’s Nikaitchuq Project. Recently, the installation of a new metering module at the site required nearly 12 miles of 15kv rated power cable to be attached to a pipeline running the length of the island. The scope of this project, combined with the environmental rigors of the oil patch, meant this would be no small task. Contracting engineers contacted Hayata to discuss their options and soon a bulk order of Hayata’s stainless steel cable banding was on its way to Spy Island. Durable and corrosion resistant, Hayata’s stainless steel bands successfully secured the cable to the pipe in five foot intervals over the entire 12 mile length.

Engineers avoid delays with shift to Hayata

GAS Plant Travel 140 km northwest of Dhaharan in Saudi Arabia and you’ll come across Saudi Aramco’s expansive Khursaniyah Oil and Gas Project. Covering 50 sq. km, this 3.6 billion USD production facility is a marvel of modern-day oil & gas technology. Engineers faced many obstacles during the construction of the Khursanivah facility, the most notable being a shortage of materials and equipment. Of particular concern were shipping delays with the critical cable ties that had been specified for the project. Time is money, and as the costly delays added up, it became clear that the current supplier would not be able to deliver. Seeking stainless steel cable ties that met, or exceeded, their current specifications, engineers made a shift to Hayata. With product stock already in the region, Hayata was able to quickly expedite shipments of its 360 degree coated and standard cable ties directly to the gas plant for installation. The combination of speed, availability, and quality made Hayata the logical choice for the Saudi-Aramcos Oil and Gas Project.

Hayata Banding Helps Island Home Withstand Katrina

In the early morning of August 29th, 2005, hurricane Katrina roared onto the shores of tiny Dauphin Island, Alabama. A Category 3 storm, Katrina unleashed damaging triple digit wind gusts along with an unrelenting tidal surge. While the ferocious winds lashed out, wreaking havoc on Dauphin Island, it was the tidal surge which ultimately proved most devastating. On the western tip of the island, small communities, evacuated long before the storm arrived, vanished - completely washed away by the wall of surging water. Of the handful of structures that survived the storm’s wrath, one happened to be owned by Ed Dowey. Ed, a Division Director with Summit Electric Supply, had reinforced his home during its construction with Hayata’s stainless steel banding. The home’s sturdy joints, wrapped in Hayata’s banding, proved a formidable opponent against Katrina’s fury. Resisting the storm’s devastating one-two punch, Ed’s home stood strong, remaining intact as the wind and water subsided. While many factors played into the success of Ed’s home, he’ll be the first to tell you that Hayata’s stainless steel banding played a significant role in this tale of survival.

In this photograph taken by National Geographic, Ed’s home is centered amongst three others near the bottom of the image.
