Maintenance in Record Time

System wiring on drilling platforms is a major challenge. The WAGO-X-COM®S-SYSTEM reduces work on site to a minimum.

If an important technical component fails on an offshore drilling rig, the emergency is often dire. In most cases, a specialist has to be flown in as fast as possible via helicopter, and then often has to perform complicated repairs under extreme conditions. A prominent European drilling equipment manufacturer sought a maintenance-friendly and economical alternative, and developed a solution using components from the WAGO X-COM®S-SYSTEM.

Deck Handling and Cranes – This Is How WAGO Lends a Hand:

  • With the WAGO-X-COM®S-SYSTEM, system wiring on site is reduced to a minimum.
  • Exchanging individual modules of the rail-mount terminal block system is easy, fast and safe.
  • One to three rows of printable marking strips ensure unmistakable identification of individual sub-assemblies.

Maintenance Work under Extreme Conditions

Unscheduled idle times are a significant problem, not just on drilling platforms. Maintaining equipment and systems is an expensive undertaking in marine and mining operations, and also at pump stations. Maintenance and upkeep at remote or difficult to access locations are obviously a great deal more complicated than usual servicing: Specialist technicians first have to undertake the journey out; they usually have to work under difficult conditions; then they have to analyze the error sources, often in small access spaces; and then perform comprehensive wiring tasks. Working under such conditions requires a great deal of time and is often prone to error.

Lower Maintenance Costs

One drilling equipment manufacturer grew tired of this major nuisance. And not just because their systems can only be reached via helicopter or plane, so transporting the technical personnel generated horrendous travel costs. Therefore, they sought control cabinet components that would enable a simple exchange of modules, minimize time and expense during system wiring, prevent mismating of wires from the outset, can be used in Ex areas, and should ultimately reduce the down times of sensitive equipment.
