  • Safety issues - escape and evacuation, lifesaving appliances and structural fire protection
  • Materials and welding - certification, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, welding procedures and material substitution.
  • Structural assessment requirements - wastage allowances, fatigue, redundancy and primary and secondary structures
  • Piping compliance review for ballast, mud, cement, deluge sprinklers and high fog systems including the application of plastic piping.
  • Electrical system compliance
  • Survey during construction including material traceability, NDT, machinery testing and system commissioning
  • ABS Certified Drilling Systems approval requirements for each element of a drilling system.
