Project Details
Client: Onshore Rig
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Services Provided: Electrical Thermography (HV/LV Switch Gear/VFD/Bus Bars)
Project Overview
Cornerstone partnered with an Onshore Rig facility in Abu Dhabi to conduct comprehensive electrical thermography inspections of critical components, including High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage (LV) switchgear, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and bus bars. This initiative aimed to enhance the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of the rig's electrical infrastructure.
Scope of Work
- Thermographic Inspections: Our expert team utilized advanced thermographic technology to perform detailed inspections of HV and LV switchgear, VFDs, and bus bars. These inspections involved capturing thermal images to identify any anomalies, such as overheating, loose connections, or abnormal thermal patterns, which could indicate potential issues or safety hazards.
- Data Analysis: The collected thermal data underwent rigorous analysis to assess the condition of the electrical components and identify areas of concern. Our team meticulously reviewed thermal images, temperature measurements, and visual observations to pinpoint anomalies and irregularities.
- Reporting: Detailed reports were generated to document inspection findings, including thermal images, temperature readings, and recommendations for corrective actions. These reports provided valuable insights to the rig's management, facilitating informed decision-making and prioritization of maintenance tasks.
- Consultation: Our experts engaged in consultations with the rig's technical personnel to discuss inspection results, address any questions or concerns, and provide guidance on implementing recommended measures to mitigate risks and enhance electrical safety.
Benefits to the Client
- Early Detection of Issues: The electrical thermography inspections enabled early detection of potential issues in HV and LV switchgear, VFDs, and bus bars, allowing for timely intervention and preventive maintenance to prevent equipment failures or safety incidents.
- Risk Mitigation: By addressing identified anomalies promptly, the Onshore Rig could mitigate the risk of electrical failures, equipment damage, and operational disruptions, ensuring the safety of personnel and assets.
- Operational Efficiency: Proactively resolving electrical issues contributed to optimizing the performance and reliability of the rig's electrical systems, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency.
- Compliance Assurance: The project supported the Onshore Rig in complying with industry standards and regulatory requirements related to electrical safety, demonstrating their commitment to operational excellence and safety culture.
Conclusion
Cornerstone's electrical thermography inspections provided invaluable insights into the condition of critical electrical components on the Onshore Rig, empowering the facility to maintain safety, reliability, and productivity in its operations.
