The Challenge
Refurbishing fuel and water tanks during a 14 day refit
Dormac approached Aggreko as they needed a fast solution for a refurbishment project. The project was taking place on an offshore rig during cold conditions in Cape Town. The cold conditions were causing condensation inside all 12 fuel and water tanks. This was preventing resin from drying and ultimately halting the project.
Air ventilation and suitable dehumidification was needed fast. The project was scheduled for completion in 14 days and also had specific requirements regarding equipment being manoeuvrable, as the units were required on the topside deck of the rig.
