EX Heater

Project:

Underside of the platform Heli-deck

Challenges

Cape were struggling to achieve the correct temperature specification to allow work to commence on the underside of the platform Heli-deck.

Current heaters onboard were taking up to 48 hours to achieve the desired temperature. The project needed to be completed within 2 weeks and therefore time pressure was increased.
