Overhaul and recertification of Saipem Scarabeo 8 maintenance baskets

For our clients on The Saipem semi-submersible drilling rig, we provided an efficient overhaul and recertification of 4 maintenance baskets, at our workshop in Norway. The Saipem semi-submersible drilling rig Scarabeo 8 was in for special periodical survey at Westcon Yard in Ølen during the fall of 2016.

Thanks to our high-quality work and unbeatable prices, we won the project for Saipem to supply 5-year overhaul and recertification of the 4 maintenance baskets (type NOV) from Scarabeo 8 during the SPS.

The equipment was sent to Tratec’s overhaul workshop at Nodeland in Southern Norway. Our scope of work was 5-year inspections, overhaul, change of parts, sandblasting, painting, reassembly, testing and certification.

We used our in-depth knowledge and experience within NOV drilling equipment, workshop overhaul, access to original parts, and our efficient project execution model, to meet our clients needs.

THIS RESULTED IN:

  • All equipment was fully DNV certified and overhauled with original parts for a 5 year operation.
  • On-time delivery of the project.
  • A considerable cost and time savings for Saipem.

WE PROVIDE DRILLING EQUIPMENT PARTS AT UNBEATABLE PRICES, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE QUALITY.

We can deliver considerable cost savings to our customers due to our lower cost base-system for compatible parts and utilizing our experienced drilling equipment employees at competitive rates.
