Atlas Copco Specialty Rental: At the forefront of change
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental India has always been pioneering new technologies and service initiatives that cater to the new age way of doing business. This comes from decades of experience and consumer understanding, in-depth market analysis and study of global trends that monitor the constantly changing demand and supply chains and even hint at what could be the next big thing.
So in a world that is governed by volatility, it is wise to take steps that may be small, but sure. Rental equipment is one such decision that can help you adopt, align and adjust exactly as per market requirements. Our equipment is not just used by popular and prevalent businesses, but also entities that are important but invisible.
The offshore industry is one such milestone that we are proud of, whom we have served for the last 50 years with groundbreaking technologies and services. Some of our core expertise is used across the industry for renewable energy, oil & gas as well as marine and dredging applications. The industry benefits from our long-term vision, where sustainability plays an important role.
From oil-free compressed air for seabed preparation, to compact power generators that fit TP without hindering operations, we offer made-to-measure solutions and products with specialized seaborne designs, and expertise that can handle any request.
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental is especially proud of its ISO 8573-1 Class Zero certified oil-free compressors, which are ideal for critical applications, such as noise and vibration-reducing bubble curtains.
The oil and gas industry are one of the leading and crucial industries of our current times. We have been extending our support and solutions across the journey - from the exploration phase, to operations, maintenance and platform decommissioning. We offer a range of our best products such as our reliable oil-free compressed air, compact and lightweight power generators from 50 to 750 kVA, our robust steam boilers and the versatile on-site nitrogen units support every application on and around the platform.
All our equipment is built for heavy-duty tasks in hazardous conditions and certified according to specific oil & gas industry norms and standards. This is also true for our dedicated offshore service technicians.
The marine business is a high-risk area that requires robust equipment, ready to face harsh natural conditions and elements, without being costly. So irrespective if the business is onshore or on-board, Atlas Copco Rental offers an extensive fleet with machines with temporary compressed air, nitrogen, power or steam solutions, designed, tested and certified to sustain the roughest weather conditions anywhere in the world.
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental, your trusted Partner.
In an offshore space, what are the crucial parameters emphasized by most of the customers besides flow, pressure, or power requirements in rental equipment selection to operate?
Space is the most valuable and limited resource when it comes to offshore operations. And this gives Atlas Copco Specialty Rental an opportunity to work closely with our customers and understand the space restrictions and how we can serve them better. During initial discussions of the requirement, we get the specifications of space and proposed placement of equipment at the rig/vessel from customer, and then identify the best possible solution. Our team of experts ensure that the solutions proposed, meet the required criteria for the available space. We are known for our compact solutions – containerized and stackable equipment which helps our customers plan their space smartly and without any stress.
We are also extremely proud of our equipment’s reliability. Once it is shipped, there is little scope of any change – which is why we test our equipment rigorously at our depot, the customer is also invited to check the equipment while the test is going on, offering assurance that the equipment is in a perfectly working condition.
Power is also another limited and valuable resource when it comes to offshore operations, which our experts handle competently by offering industry leading energy efficient solutions.
Do the equipment meet offshore compliances considering the strict requirements for operation in oil & gas industry?
At Atlas Copco, we take compliances very seriously. From the beginning, we always prefer to work closely with all the required authorities to ascertain and collect all the required permissions to ship out our equipment. We ensure all the necessary offshore compliance protocols are met, including, but not limited to green tagging of our equipment, as per site requirement.
All our equipment is checked by third-party inspections and audits to certify our fleet for the health and reliability of the machines. It is only after the checks and approvals do we send our rig-safe equipment to our customers. We also have DNV certified crash frames available separately for our standard fleet to convert into RIG-safe along with additional safety interlocks, in case it is required.
How is the equipment operation handled for demanding projects? Does Atlas Copco Specialty Rental provide any relevant training to the equipment operators?
Off-shore operations are hazardous and require several compliance and safety protocols to be followed. Atlas Copco Specialty Rental ensures all safety compliance protocols are considered.
Our well-trained personnel are experienced at handling contingencies as well as regular operations ranging from fire to safety and evacuation. We have BOSIET and OPITO – certified operators and we continuously invest giving them all the latest training and knowledge.
What kind of fleets does Atlas Copco Specialty Rental have for offshore requirements?
We have a diverse and versatile fleet for compressed air, power, and onsite nitrogen generation, compliant in every aspect for a varied number of requirements. This makes us a preferred partner of choice for our large customer base in oil and gas industry. We are also backed with a huge fleet placed strategically at our 24x7 operational depots – in the east and west of India, that offers (oil-) spillage free and rig-safe equipment which are further customizable. The equipment is housed in a DNV certified crash frame and can be certified for green tagging, if required. We also take care of the marine life in and around the area we work during such projects and have provided equipment for currently niche underwater applications such as bubble-curtain and high pressure compressed air for deep sea projects.
