Techno Kontrol Oil Rigs Safety

In all production units where inflammable products as oil, gases and chemicals can be leaked around on the drilling areas, storage tanks,pipelines,etc. we must take special interest with regards of introducing also our products all decking areas and in the gangways and safety zones. In the event of an accident or attack the human evacuation of such units is paramount and knowing that the escapes routes are protected will allow all personel to evacuate with more time via air or by sea.

Special protected areas inside the unit structure where explosions or heat cannot effect human lives must be the minimum protection that any operator should strive for and to secure immediate evacuation.

These deckings and gangways are placed on the existing floors or gangways of plants and gather the leaked inflammable materials and drains them through the underchannel into gathering pipelines.

In hot climates gasification of these leaked fuels can take place and the gas vaporization is then located in the underchannels and in the event of fire or a spark an explsoion will occur with all the risk of human loss of life and the damage or destruction of the unit. 

Avoiding explosions will allow operators to have more time to repair units and thus avoid massive environmnetal damage as the Gulf of Mexico Oil rig explosion and latter environmental disaster.

Oilrig - Offshore Platform Explosions

Offshore and exploration/drilling operations installations suffer many accidents on a yearly bases around the world and the most serious are the off-shore platform accidents that not only cause massive personal injuries and deaths but also eco-systems damages.

Any offshore platform is an extremely dangerous place to work safely but one has to also remember that many safety technologies can be applied to reduce the total risk of the operations and that Technokontrol is there to offer all of our engineering and technical knowledge.

In many cases when drilling on offshore oilrigs gases can infiltrate or enter into the platform bases and to which over time this continuous accumulation of gases can cause a massive explosion.

Even though most petrol-chemical corporations are always trying their best to increase their employees and oilrig safety using TK-Alloys in many locations will reduce the risk of explosion which can occur simply due to a static spark, lightning or lack of care or lack of professionalism either by the employees or operators or both.

There have been H&S advances with regards of creating helipads made of fire-retardant materials for effective evacuation in the event of oilrig  fires or explosions especially issued by the UK H&S Petrol-Chemical Authorities recommending these new safety features but the issue isn´t just "winning" time to evacuate the oilrig but not having the accident or risk at the very start.

We believe that Technokontrol can assist extremely well by indicating where  are those  risks and address these safety issues immediately and their long term solution for the benefit of all parties from the operators, employees to the saving of our natural environment.

The human cost with regards of the recent Gulf of Mexico Oilrig explosions can always be covered with the payment of insurance policies but what about the families and the long term personal losses of those families which money will never be able to replace.

What will be the long lasting eco-system damage to all the region and the loss of income of hundreds of thousands of people due to the contamination, eco-sea flora changes, species-genetic defects, long term polluted fishing and sea foods which will enter the animal and human food chain sooner or later which again will put us all at risk.

Heavy environmental loss/damage

This is why its not understandable that our Technokontrol safety technology hasn't been installed in all the operational oilrigs and the risk of accident or explosion will be minimum and just avoiding another accident will be worth the investment.

We can assure you that any operational investment savings which may of been taken to increase profits or earnings will never be worth those billions of dollars which have been and will be paid for all the damages which make it incomprehensible the non-introduction of all the possible safety and security systems available in this industry.
