Project Description
The World's First Heated & Non-Heated Drill Floor
As AMS® is the only provider of both heated & non-heated anti-slip matting specifically engineered for drill floors, we were involved exclusively in the FEED for the Seadrills' new-build, the West Rigel. The scope of work encompassed a comprehensive drill floor matting package with specific attention on deicing the escape routes and creating a uniform high traction drill floor, as it was multiple levels. This package was produced to a 40mm thickness.
Below you will see the traction profile difference which visibly shows the egress routes and indicates heated matting. Highlights include:
-
Level surface with combination of Arctic Pad® & Drill Floor Traction Matting
-
Red Zone Hazard Line
-
Each mat embossed with numeric ID
-
Drainage Grooves
-
Non-skid Coating
-
Control & Monitoring Systems designed for user friendly operating
