<p><strong>Drops Object Survey</strong></p> <p>Tubestar is a member of the DROPS forum and supports the aims and objectives of the UK's Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme (DROPS). Dropped Object Surveys and Inspections are a key element of dropped object control and prevention management systems.</p> <p>Tubestar can help prevent a potential dropped object becoming another unwelcome safety statistic by conducting detailed dropped object survey of hazardous areas. We are all committed to preventing harm to personnel and damage to equipment from dropped objects. Tubestar provides qualified inspectors to conduct a thorough dropped object survey of the derrick and other areas as required.</p> <p>All the areas which are to be inspected are divided into different zones and are surveyed as per Client's dropped object policy. All the findings are recorded in the report with photographic evidence and corrective actions for the same. The report is divided into two parts, one is the Inspection Survey which includes all observations and another is the Failed Items list which covers the items which failed in the survey.</p> <p>Generally, Survey tasks are:</p> <ul> <li>Document equipment location by Inspection Area</li> <li>Photograph each item surveyed</li> <li>Include unique identification number to each item (tag numbers)</li> <li>Describe each item surveyed</li> <li>Inspect and document Primary Securing method(s)</li> <li>Inspect and document the Secondary Retention method(s)</li> <li>Record equipment condition as Pass or Fail, including comments (ie Satisfactory or Reason for Failure)</li> <li>Record inspection frequency (ie weekly, monthly) as recorded in the Equipment Family Inspection Criteria</li> <li>Generate a Failed Items List</li> </ul> <p>Dropped objects pose a significant threat to personal safety; they also have the potential to cause damage to structures, plant and equipment leading to loss of containment and consequential release to the environment.</p> <p> </p>
<p>More and more companies are opting to go in for Eddy current inspection due to inherent benefit of non-requirement of paint removal for inspection which is a drawback in the conventional NDT method of MPI. Eddy current eliminates the need for surface preparation and saves a lot of time in paint removal and re-application of paint post inspection. Only at places, indications received prove-up is done with MPI.</p> <p>One of the major advantages of eddy current as an NDT tool is the variety of inspections and measurements that can be performed. In the proper circumstances, eddy currents can be used for:</p> <ul> <li>Crack detection</li> <li>Material thickness measurements</li> <li>Coating thickness measurements</li> <li>Conductivity measurements for Material identification, Heat damage detection, Case depth determination, Heat treatment monitoring.</li> </ul> <p>Some of the advantages of Eddy current inspection include:</p> <ul> <li>Sensitive to small cracks and other defects</li> <li>Detects surface and near-surface defects</li> <li>The inspection gives immediate results</li> <li>Equipment is very portable. The method can be used for much more than flaw detection.</li> <li>Minimum part preparation is required</li> <li>Test probe does not need to contact the part</li> <li>Inspects complex shapes and sizes of conductive materials</li> <li>Tubestar has onboard trained and qualified inspectors to carry out Eddy current inspection onshore and offshore.</li> <li>Tubestar uses the latest state of the art Phasec-3D unit from GE for inspection.</li> </ul>
<p>Tubestar can inspect, test and certify all types of lifting appliances on location. We are a member of LEEA in the UK and follow the latest LOLER guidelines.
