Derrick Modifications and Inspections

Modifications and inspections of offshore drilling rigs are a growing share in the Wagenborg Foxdrill activities. We are involved in a lot of changes to improve the performance of drilling systems worldwide.

Typical projects include:

– Exchanging crown blocks and crown-mounted compensation systems

– Extending drilling rigs

– Strengthening drilling rigs

– Exchanging topdrive systems

– Exchanging pipe-handling systems

– Exchanging bolts

– Installing heat shields or wind protection

An ingenious rigging system that was developed in-house is our so called ultra light rigging system. By use of this system large cranes and crane ships are no longer needed during the exchange of heave compensators, crown sheaves or crown blocksof drilling rigs on semi-submersibles and drilling ships. With this system our expert team is far ahead of our competitors.

Wagenborg Foxdrill also carries out complete drilling rig inspections, DOS (Dropped Object Survey), and other inspections. We go beyond simply providing advice, with our developed means we quickly and safely remedy every problem and prevent a possible hazard to employees or unwanted interruptions of an operation.
