Offshore and marine rope access

Where we work offshore and on the coast

• Fixed platforms and topsides
• FPSO, FLNG and floating storage units
• Drilling rigs in port and at sea
• LNG and gas processing plants on the coast
• Jetties, wharves, quay cranes and ship loaders
• Single-buoy moorings and oil terminals
• Vessel hulls, tanks and cargo holds

What we do

• Splash zone and structural inspection, with photos and reports
• NDT: ultrasonic thickness, visual and magnetic particle testing
• Abrasive blasting and coating repair on topsides, legs and hulls
• Flare stack, crane boom and derrick inspection and repair
• Welding and steel repair at height
• Cleaning of tanks, silos and confined spaces
• Dropped-object surveys and securing
• Installing and certifying lifelines and anchor points

Why rope access offshore

• Far fewer people on board than a scaffold crew, so lower bed-space and transfer costs
• No scaffold to build, inspect and strip, so work starts sooner
• Work goes on around live operations, with less disruption to production
• Each technician works on two independent ropes, with a supervisor and rescue plan on every job

Our offshore and marine teams use the same rope access methods, equipment and safety system as our onshore work. That includes a site-specific safety file compiled to the operator’s requirements before mobilisation.
