Rig Surveys

Throughout the operating life of a drilling rig, components can fatigue and systems fail, leading to dangerous conditions for personnel and the environment.

Discovery Tools is able to offer a comprehensive rig survey (onshore or offshore) to provide clients the reassurance of a fully functioning and safe drilling rig. Our rig inspection services cover all stages of a rig’s life, from construction thought to commissioning and operations.

The exact scope of our rig surveys is dependent on client specifications, however a typical survey package may include:

• Derrick Inspection (API 4F)
• Dropped Object Survey,
• Special Periodic Survey (ABS)
• Hull Thickness Survey (ABS)
• Lifting Equipment Survey (LOLER)
• Alignment Survey
• Safety & Emergency Systems Assessment
• Control Systems Assessment

Throughout the process, our inspectors review and ensure conformity to relevant codes, manufacturer’s recommendations and legislation.

Our final reports provides a detailed breakdown of a rig’s condition, which includes highlighting high-risk areas of concern where immediate maintenance is required
