Oil platform

Job Design:

Simplified rigging, only compressed air hoses for connecting the tool. We did the job in less time than expected due to a higher capacity than standard tools for mechanical pretreatment. (Flap-disc, needle gun, and other standard options) abrasives equipment or grinding tools was not replaced, very little wear.

Economy:
Because of faster production method provides cost savings. The files are made of special steel and last a long time. The machines are very robust (tough) and long-lasting. When we finished this job, the grinding tool is still usable, and you can still use the tool on multiple jobs.

QHSE:
Low RPM and the teeth design of the abrasive tool provide minor breakage during either corrosion or paint grinding. This provides little dust problems. The tools have low vibration levels and give slight vibrations to the operator. Old paint is not warmed up to release dangerous fumes when it’s pretreated. The grinding tool is certified as cold work and gives no danger of explosion when working in explosion potential areas.

Statement by the operator after testing equipment:

The equipment works well. It does not create dust issues, and therefore respirator is not needed. The equipment provides low noise. The tool works quickly and requires little force to remove paint and rust. The equipment is reliable and has no operational problems. We removed the thick coating effectively. Worked faster with this tool.
