Annual inspection services for offshore cranes
Ensuring the safety and reliability of offshore cranes is essential in the energy industry. At Control Union, we specialize in conducting comprehensive annual inspections for offshore cranes located on barges, ships, rigs and platforms. Following the industry-leading API Recommended Practice 2D, our inspections are carried out with meticulous attention to detail and in compliance with any specific requirements from crane manufacturers, owners or users.
Thorough examination
Our expert inspectors meticulously examine the structural, electrical, and hydraulic systems of cranes to ensure their optimal performance. We leave no stone unturned in assessing the integrity and functionality of these vital systems. Additionally, we conduct a comprehensive review of the crane’s safety features and procedures to identify any areas that may need attention or improvement.
Six-monthly inspection for personnel lifting operations
Control Union is equipped to conduct six-monthly inspections of offshore cranes, inspecting them for personnel lifting operations within the scope of LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) legislation. Our diligent inspections verify the crane’s compliance with all relevant safety standards, giving you peace of mind when it comes to personnel lifting operations.
DROPS survey integration
To provide a comprehensive assessment, we offer the option to combine the crane survey with a DROPS (Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme) survey. This integration allows us to evaluate potential hazards related to dropped objects and implement preventive measures effectively, further enhancing the overall safety of the crane and its surroundings.
Optional non-destructive testing (NDT) services
Ensure the structural integrity of your offshore cranes with our non-destructive testing (NDT) services. Our experienced technicians utilize techniques such as magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and eddy current inspection to detect surface defects in load-bearing components. With thorough inspections, we help identify potential issues and provide accurate assessments to ensure the safety and reliability of your offshore crane operations.
Optional advanced NDT of slew bearing ring and studs
Offering slew bearing ring and studs inspections using Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT). This allows for comprehensive scanning without the need for removal, ensuring efficient inspections of slew bearing ring and studs. Control Union also offers advanced PAUT services for in-situ hinge and pivot pins installed on crane booms or A-frames. Put your trust in Control Union for comprehensive PAUT inspections tailored to your specific needs.
