Inspection

Lifting Equipments And Lifting Gears Inspection

We carry out inspection and certification in accordance with the BS standard and international standards and the local statutory regulation for all the lifting equipment.In many countries, there are local statutory regulations that apply to all premises with regards to their health and safety laws – one such example is the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) in the UK. Conforming to these requirements is crucial for companies as failure to do so may result in penalties from governing bodies.

Our Solutions

we can help you conform to local and international requirements. We first evaluate your equipment and advise you of the inspection requirements you need to fulfill. If there is no specific local legislation, we will advise you based on best international practices and standards and assess the equipment either through a detailed visual inspection or load testing. An electronic management system or color tagging system will then continue to monitor and track the equipment – enabling the client to know when the equipment in question needs to be reassessed and recertified.Rig inspections, also known as rig audits, are conducted on drilling assets for both drilling contractors and drilling operators to assess the condition of an asset. Inspections are conducted to industry standards, such as API, as well as to specific client requirements. Rig-commissioning services involve ensuring that rig machinery and equipment are functioning properly and are in accordance with the client´s requirements.

Non Destructive Tests (NDT)

Visual Inspection (VT)

  • A visual examination using the naked eye or with the aid of optical tools.
  • Used to inspect the integrity welds and component’s surfaces (Tanks, Boilers, Pipes, etc..).
  • Quick, and cost effective, and helps determine whether more advanced tests are needed.

Dye Penetrant Tests (DPT)

  • Procedure in which liquid dyes are applied to surfaces revealing cracks and similar discontinuities.
  • Used to inspect welds, castings, forgings, and surfaces of non-ferromagnetic components.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

  • A method that uses high frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws within a component and measure thickness.
  • Used to inspect welds, vessels, pipelines, thick materials to detect internal defects within the component.

Magnetic Particles Tests (MPT)

  • A test that uses the combination of electromagnetic yokes and fine ferromagnetic powder, in order to detect cracks and defects near surface or on the surface of ferromagnetic components.
  • Used to inspect welds, castings, forgings, and the surfaces of ferromagnetic components.

DNV.GL

The purpose of the present Classification Notes is to provide the user with general information and a tool for assessing the acceptance level of deterioration in hull structures
A ships original scantlings are normally based on minimum requirements according to the rules for Classification of Ships applicable at the time of construction but may also include additions due to the initial owners requirements or special building practices. However, there has been an extensive development in ship design and optimization of scantlings during the last 20-30 years, and this development has in general contributed to reduced corrosion margins. Provision of a good corrosion protection system is, therefore, now more important than ever. As not all designs and circumstances can be covered, the instructions herein should be used with particular caution. Acceptance of repair extent and method must be given by the Society. See PDF

The principle in this document is that general corrosion allowances will follow DNV and GL rules. This is due to differences in the existing rules where GL rules are based on a net thickness approach where the maximum general corrosion margin in service (tk) is defined in the approval stage. DNV rules do not describe the maximum corrosion allowance in service and provided the longitudinal stress level and buckling capacity is acceptable, reductions beyond the new building corrosion allowance (tk) may be accepted. However local corrosion criterias such as pitting, grooving and edge corrosion apply to both DNV and GL ships

ABS

  • Ensures local ship strength is retained.
  • Ensures global ship strength is retained.
  • Identifies areas with corrosion which may require more frequent inspection and assessment.
  • Provides data for corrosion trend analysis for various types of ships UTM of ships is carried out with the involvement of :
  • Owners’ Representative
  • Class Surveyor
  • TM Company Representative
  • Dockyard or Shipyard Representative(Not always)
  • Before the commencement of any TMs, the four or three parties shall gather for a meeting, usually on board the vessel, to plan/decide the sequence and method that the TMs are to be take.

Ultrasonic thickness measurement of ships has to be carried out as a manner/means to detect, monitor, and hence. See PDF
