Oil, gas and marine industry installations increasingly use various lifting equipment not only during the construction and commissioning stage but also during steady-state operations. However, if these pieces of lifting equipment fail while in service, consequences can be very dangerous, depending upon whether their lifted loads or the lifting equipment themselves collapse on the people or live hydrocarbon equipment and vessels, resulting in fire and explosion. The health (integrity) of such lifting equipment must be ensured through well planned and well-executed certified inspections.
As one of the major global players in lifting equipment inspection and certification, ZOTA Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited ensures that regulatory standards and requirements are met, to ensure safe lifting operations and minimize unnecessary delays or downtime through well-executed inspections.
