Offshore platforms

Nowhere do you need to be more self-reliant than on an offshore platform. And that includes self-reliance in the event of fire. There’s no fire service in the immediate vicinity to come to the rescue and this has a number of significant consequences.

Offshore platforms

Although everything is insurable, major fires in industry results in bankruptcy in no fewer than 50 percent of cases. The production sector faces various fire risks: human factors, flammable goods, failures in electrical systems, etc. The direct material damage is usually covered, but the consequential damage is often a bigger problem. Halting production erodes a firm’s competitive position and damages its image.

A good risk assessment followed by the correct interventions ensures that your vital operating processes will not be disrupted. We will share ideas with you on the right solutions for your situation in terms of construction, systems, and organisation. Our solutions will provide full compliance with HSE requirements and guarantee the peace of mind that will enable you to concentrate on running your business.

Our approach to fire protection

Effective fire protection requires the right balance between your equipment and systems, your onsite capability, and the potential risks a fire can cause. At Knowsley SK, we employ a structured approach to help you find the very best solution to your fire protection needs.

Site survey

Assess hazards, layout, processes & products

Our first step is to conduct a site survey, to assess the onsite hazards and the site layout, detail processes and evaluate stored products. Every site has a unique set of challenges which must be determined so that we can recommend the best solution. Our site survey will produce a detailed report with recommendations for improvements and may include a base outline of costs so that a scope of work can be agreed.

Quotation & design

Initial design and costs

When a clear scope of work has been defined, we then begin with the initial pre-bid design works. This helps with the preparation of an initial cost estimate (quotation), which is then submitted to you. This typically leads to a technical evaluation phase, so we can give site disciplines or approved 3rd party organisations the opportunity to comment on the plans and suggest possible changes. Once all details are agreed, a final quotation is submitted, and the contract documents can be signed.

Project management

Smooth execution & maintenance

We assign you a dedicated Project Manager to act as a single point contract for all commercial and technical matters, helping to ensure a smooth execution process at all times. After the contract documents are signed, a full, detailed design and co-ordination with certifying authorities will be finalised. When any of our projects are completed, we will recommend a term maintenance agreement that includes all necessary testing. This helps us ensure your critical systems are always in optimum condition and provides you with absolute peace of mind.
