MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTIONS

MATERIAL HANDLING - THE AXESS WAY

The material handling on an offshore installation should be characterised by systematic efficiency and extreme focus on safety. The result is to reduce downtime, if any, and consequently increase economical margins.

We are committed to assisting our clients to achieve material handling compliance in all phases of a new-build and modification projects.

Material Handling PhilosophyNORSOK R-002 B.5

Material handling philosophy applies to all areas, equipment and operations of mobile offshore installations. This philosophy shall provide guidelines for the engineers to achieve a robust technical design that will promote efficient and safe handling of equipment, as well as to secure access for maintenance in all operational conditions.

The document answers the following:

1. How do you handle equipment on board?

• What is the heaviest/biggest equipment in each room/area?• What lifting equipment to use? • How to transport it all the way to workshops or supply vessel?

Offshore Crane StudyNORSOK R-002 B.6

Offshore Crane Study is the feasibility study of handling loads by the offshore crane.

The document answers the following:

1. How can the crane operator transfer a load at the installation on a safe way?2. Will there be any blind zones for the crane operator during lifting operations?3. What is the weight and height limitations for the different laydown areas?4. In which situations shall the crane boom be brought into rest position?

The offshore crane study is a basis for preparing operational procedures.

2. Does the lifting equipment have sufficient capacities?3. Does deck on board have sufficient capacities?4. Is there enough space for handling/transporting the equipment?

Lifting ZonesNORSOK R-002 B.3.3

The main purpose of the lifting zones study is to analyse the potential effect of a “load’ being dropped and the dropping of a crane boom over certain lifting areas/zones.

The document answers the following:

1. What is the consequence if the load is is accidentally dropped in a certain area?

2. Where can the crane operator maneuver his load and not?3. What parts of the installation do I need to protect –

dropped object protection (DOP)?4. What are the maximum weights/heights I can bring into

these areas?

All areas within the working area of the deck crane are to be evaluated and classified according to the consequences of dropped objects. A lifting restriction chart shall be made for the installation.

Material Handling SurveyNORSOK R-002 B

During the late phase of the building process, material handling surveys should be carried out to verify the following factors: • Installation of lifting equipment• Transportation routes• Ensure Material Handling Philosophy is being followed

and gap against this

Material Handling PlanNORSOK R-002 B.7

Identify all equipment above 25 kg that needs to be handled due to regular maintenance.

• Describe the method to be used• Lifting equipment to be used• Describe the transport route to be used

Equipment requirements for material handling is shown in NORSOK R-002.

The material handling report shall be updated periodically to reflect the latest changes in equipment layout, Material Handling Philosophy, significant change in equipment/component weights and dimensions until this report reaches “completion of fabrication” stage.
