The company supports numerous oil, gas and petrochemical companies in order to achieve an exceptional level of asset integrity and achieve greater workforce competence through relevant personnel training and assessment. Electrical and training services for the energy industry The main focus of TDD at this time is the ever-increasing need for an up-to-date hazardous area equipment register (HAER) and maintenance of any faults found with electrical or instrumentation equipment on a company's asset. Failure to rectify any serious faults found can result in loss of life or injury to company personnel and / or serious damage to asset integrity, as has been shown in major accidents across the globe in recent times. TDD has proven itself a leader in the field of Ex Inspection, providing a very high standard of independent inspection services for electrical and instrumentation equipment, as well as producing client-specific, relevant end products to allow implementation of a precise and productive maintenance strategy. Providing Ex inspections and maintenance Alongside visual inspections, the team also carries out detailed inspections and, if required, maintenance on faults. Gas explosions are a major threat to asset integrity and employees in hydrocarbon production facilities. For any explosion to occur, there must be an associated ignition source present during a gas release. Electrical and Instrumentation equipment provide the most common source of ignition, unless the equipment is correctly installed and maintained. During the visual Ex Inspection, TDD will create or update a hazardous area equipment register (HAER), giving the client a quick reference to each item inspected and detailing the faults found. The International Electrical Commission standard IEC 60079 provides guidance on correct installation and maintenance of the above equipment and recommends a three-year interval between periodic independent inspections of such equipment to ensure safe operation within a hydrocarbon environment. TDD's COMPEx-certified inspection team work on offshore and onshore installations in various parts of the world and have gained vast experience in different situations regarding Ex Inspection.
