Inhouse Thermographics

Pros

  • Flexibility – Local cameras and operators can be used at short notice
  • Visas – National workers will not suffer a restriction on visas

Cons

  • High roll-out cost in terms provision of cameras and trained operators for each vessel
  • Training will vary with regions
  • Reporting templates and layouts will vary with regions
  • Potential loss of trained personnel meaning new replacement personnel will have to be trained.
  • Potential time delays in implementing the above
  • Camera hardware and reporting software is not the highest quality
  • Without strict campaign management thermographic procedures and reporting will vary between vessels/assets
  • Unlikely to have full inventory list trending and image record for all equipment
  • Loss of historical reports and data
  • Loss of equipment, equipment peripherals and software
  • Computer software install
  • Rarely used equipment and software will result in low grade thermography and reporting standards

  • Thermographic and digital images captured and displayed on Webmanager for all equipment. IR images updated every inspection for the trend programme. This allows for campaign audit to ensure all equipment is inspected
  • Expertise in Separator inspections with bespoke trending templates to measure and quantify in cm and % of sand level in separators and other process and mechanical applications
  • Potential of transfer of Ti Intellectual Property and procedural knowledge to satisfy nationalisation contractual commitments (See Technical Proposal)
