The key benefits of the Wear Sheave are:
“This product is an example of a major problem being highlighted in a dangerous environment and Tufcot® material being used as an ideal solution in a safer, more efficient manner.
Tufcot are continuing to research and develop in many market sectors with the Oil and Gas Sector as a key growth area in years to come”
Improving The Design
The Tufcot technical department has continued to improve the design of Rig Guards.
As oil rig design and the corresponding conductor size can vary, we rapidly produce bespoke manufacturing drawings for these items.
“We have noticed a number of extra benefits apart from the protection afforded to the conductor as they pass through the guide.
This includes the safety to personnel as we no longer have to install chocks of wood using a sledgehammer every few weeks against a moving caisson in the North Sea and so the risk to personnel is greatly reduced.
We estimate, after two years’ service, the amount of wear we have had will be about 10%, meaning they should only need replacing every five years.
The wear to the caissons themselves has been totally arrested.”
