Challenge
BP required support with all of their lifting engineering services throughout the hook-up and commissioning of the Clair Ridge platform. As a long term specialist contractor for BP’s North Sea assets we were asked to become actively engaged in the Clair Ridge project from an early stage.
Solution
We supported maintenance and inspection of lifting equipment as well as supplying a number of key personnel
- Surveys of lifting equipment were completed in-field, West of Shetland
- Lifting registers were created onshore with certification from BP’s database and were uploaded to Altrad Sparrows ICE database in advance of offshore mobilisations, thus optimising time spent offshore. This provided BP with a lifting register database which key personnel from both client and client key stakeholders can access easily
- During the construction of Clair Ridge in Korea we supplied personnel to operate the cranes to support commissioning activities
- We created a suite of PMR documents for lifting equipment, including pedestal cranes. Our crane operators supporting Clair Ridge are also mechanics and have undertaken verification activities of PMR’s for further optimisation
- BP wanted to help the new deck crews to settle in and effectively monitor how they were behaving in their new environment. We mobilised our Integra safety coaches for the task and were able to report on any areas for improvement and also offer coaching on-site. Coaching to improve safety is an ongoing activity.
