Safety
We have been involved in the hook-up and commissioning of production platforms since the early 1970's, providing many of the modifications that have sustained them throughout their producing lives.  We can now apply that unique insight to ensure the safest and most efficient approach to their decommissioning.

• Engineering down, cleaning and module separation are new activities requiring a revised approach to health and safety. We encouraged and enrolled the UK's ECITB in implementing a programme specially for offshore people involved in decommissioning.

Environment
Our experience has shown that we should expect to recycle well over 95% of topside material.

• We play an active role in industry bodies and keep up-to-date with the latest developments in technology and legislation.

Cost
Costs are minimised through innovative solutions excecuted by an experienced team.

• We have learned how to make significant improvements to safety and schedule by performing key module separation before platforms enter the normally unmanned installation phase.  We use our unique risk management tools and Value Systems to ensure optimal and unique solutions are employed.
