| Robson Strikes Oil | ||||
| Success in New Industry | ||||
|
|
||||
| Based in Darnall, Sheffield, Geo Robson & Co (Conveyors) have successfully added another industry to their portfolio. With many established systems within the Airport, Power Generation and the Sugar Refinery Industry, Robson have successfully completed systems for the Offshore Oil Exploration Industry. | ||||
| A repeat order was the reward for completing a £3.1 million project, which involved the fabrication and build of a Pipe Handler Conveyor and Crane. The Pipe Handler plays a critical role within a deep sea Oil Rig Drilling System, ensuring that the drill pipe sections, up to 5 metres in length and weighing up to 4 tonnes are transferred safely to and from the drilling platform. | ||||
| 00 | ||||
| The Pipe Handler system involved specialist welding, hydraulic and electrical systems, which showcased Robson in house, engineering skills. The system designed by Shipley based TSC Offshore (Formally Patriot Mechanical Handling), and is destined for the Norwegian Oil Fields and as such had to undergo stringent testing to meet complex standards for the Norwegian Oil Industry. | ||||
| 00 | ||||
| With the Oil Rig being a dangerous environment the Pipe Handler had to also meet the European ATEX Standards for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres. Robson's vast experience of ATEX environments shone through, with many conveying systems designed and built for the explosive gas and dust environments found in the power generation and sugar industries. | ||||
| 00 | ||||
| The fabrication of the Pipe handler was undertaken by Robson's sister company, Rotherham based RJD Engineering, who ensured the structure met the critical weight limits that the customer required. With the welding and fabrication of offshore equipment being critical RJD undertook task of gaining the accreditation of the British and European Standard BS EN ISO 3834. Required mainly for the Offshore and Nuclear Industries, the standard ensures the company meets the highest quality of welding, traceability and documentation. | ||||

||||
| Only a handful of UK companies currently hold the standard awarded by TWI (The Welding Institute). Ensuring the Robson Group is one of the market leaders in this field. |
