Masts and derricks support enormous loads when drilling and running casing. API-4G recommended practice for mast and derrick inspections is a critical element to avoiding potentially non-productive time loss, or even serious incidents and catastrophic events during drilling operations. Through our Derrick Inspection report on CAMS, you will find a detailed and consistent report with all findings and repair recommendations.

Our Derrick Inspectors are IRATA-qualified rope access technicians with a background in maintenance, and we reduce defaults, by carrying out as many repairs as allowed by the time within the survey period. The bolt inspection consists in 20% of bolt torque check, and 100% of Visual Inspection.

Dropped objects, represents one of the main safety risks in all workplaces, QUALITECH offer a complete detailed survey including photos recommendation, and immediate repair requirements.

QUALITECH has extensive experience with this type of inspection, we have been using DROPS Awareness and Prevention Format and the DROPS Inspection Guide, for several years within the oil and gas industry, aiming at avoiding potential accidents.

As an ABS, DNV, BV and Lloyds Class Approved Inspection Company, QUALITECH can provide hull and structural inspections for offshore rigs, installations and vessels. Our services give clients the peace of mind that the inspection will be thorough and correctly reported. Our inspectors are experienced, professional and highly trained to be proficient in current techniques and standards. Rig Surveys carry out full Special Periodic Surveys to DNV GL and ABS requirements, utilizing our range of NDT disciplines in conjunction with our rope access qualified inspectors. We complete all in-service inspection program requirements in a safe, fast and efficient method.

Regular in-service inspections of piping systems are required to ensure their safety, dependability, and compliance with industry standards.

Whether Low Pressure or High-Pressure Pipework, Pressure Vessels or Hull tanks/voids, a detailed Ultrasonic gauging is required to check for evident corrosion or wash. Thickness Gauging is used to measure internal corrosion, externally. This allows corrosion checks on equipment such as pressure cylinders, tanks and pipework, and many more. This technique is suitable for checking equipment without having to open or enter the area to be inspected. This can be done without removing the external coating which is very convenient. The measurements are described at a report in which the thicknesses and their locations around the hull are recorded, including any findings and recommendations.

Drone Inspection, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is increasing a lot as a great and safe tool used on Visual Inspection. They provide a range of benefits, characterizing cost-effectiveness, enhanced efficiency, meticulous data collection, and considerable diminishment in risk.

Inspection drones have rapidly become the winged workforce across the industries, heralding a safer, more efficient, and cost-effective paradigm for inspection tasks. In the realm of oil and gas, drones have become invaluable for obtaining detailed images and videos, ensuring that inspections are carried out with unprecedented safety and efficiency. They soar above complex infrastructures, capturing essential data while eliminating the risks associated with sending personnel into volatile environments.

With the increase of the Oil and Gas Brazilian Market, and the complexity of the Brazilian Offshore Regulations, with extensive experience to support all type of vessels in the arrival including drilling rigs, FPSO and supply vessels, QUALITECH ensures that your equipment will be in full compliance with the major Brazilian Local regulations standards when operating in Brazilian waters.

Based in our experience and full understanding of the Brazilian regulation, we have a full understanding of the auditor’s interpretation for the requirements, which ensures that corrective actions are carried out to prevent penalties due to non-compliances, which leads to unexpected shutdown or delays in getting on contract. We became specialist in providing full support on adequacy, consultancy and site inspections for all the applicable relevant regulations.

We are counting on the hands of specialized labor in maintenance, including:

QUALITECH has already performed several complex rigging projects on a variety of installation. It holds an enhanced management of operational procedures, risk assessments and lift plans in addition to a specialized team and techniques.

The generation of a step-by-step specific lift plan for each piece of equipment, is in our mind as a vital requirement in the understanding of the removal / installation procedure within any projects. QUALITECH has a dedicated department for the sole purpose of making out these plans.The plans are made up prior to the project start date, either after a survey to determine the steps, or prior to the project knowledge of a similar nature, and then forwarded to the client along with a specific risk analysis for that plan, for review and comments.

One of our main specialties is the planning and execution of the 5 yearly certification of the derrick drilling equipment, which is done according to the manufacturer's specifications and as per API recommendations. We have multidisciplined, rope access rig building teams provided with a thorough knowledge and proven experience in this critical scope, carried out in derricks of different generations and OEM's.

For each equipment removal / installation, we perform detailed lifting plans, preliminary analysis of risk assessment and project scope management/accomplishment until its completion.
