Definition of Services

Heavy lifting services in drilling and rig move operations encompass the specialized techniques, equipment, and protocols required to safely and efficiently handle large, heavy, and often complex loads involved in these activities.

Key Components

Heavy Lifting Equipment:
Cranes: Rough Terrain RT cranes, and mobile cranes designed to lift and position heavy equipment and rig components.
Jack-Up Systems: Hydraulic jacking systems used for lifting and lowering heavy loads with precision.
Transport Vehicles: Specialized vehicles such as low-bed trailers and modular transporters for moving oversized loads.

Planning and Preparation:
Lift Planning: Detailed planning of lifting operations, including load calculations, equipment selection, and risk assessments to ensure safe and efficient execution.
Rigging: Proper rigging techniques and equipment, including slings, chains, and lifting beams, to secure loads and ensure stability during lifting and transport.
Site Assessment: Evaluation of the site conditions and environment to determine the most suitable lifting methods and equipment.

Execution of Lifts:
Load Handling: Precision in lifting, transporting, and positioning heavy equipment and components, such as drilling rigs, derricks, and substructures.
Coordination: Effective coordination among lift supervisors, operators, and ground personnel to ensure smooth and safe execution of lifts.
Safety Measures: Implementation of stringent safety measures, including the use of safety barriers, communication systems, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Personnel and Training:
Skilled Workforce: Employing highly trained and certified personnel, including crane operators, riggers, and safety officers, to perform heavy lifting operations.
Ongoing Training: Providing continuous training and development to ensure that personnel are up-to-date with the latest techniques, equipment, and safety practices.

Health and Safety:
Risk Management: Identifying potential hazards and implementing controls to mitigate risks associated with heavy lifting operations.
Emergency Response: Establishing and rehearsing emergency response plans to handle incidents or accidents that may occur during lifting operations.
Safety Audits: Conducting regular safety audits and inspections to ensure compliance with safety standards and identify areas for improvement.

Documentation and Reporting:
Record Keeping: Maintaining detailed records of lifting operations, including equipment usage, load details, and safety inspections.
Reporting: Providing comprehensive reports and documentation on the outcomes of lifting operations, including any incidents or deviations from planned procedures.
