Communic8 assists Offshore Communications for Major Oil and Gas Project in Finland

Communic8 assists Offshore Communications for Major Oil and Gas Project in Finland

 

In a recent large-scale project, we partnered with Zenitel, a leading two-way radio company and Motorola Platinum Partner based in Finland, to enhance communication capabilities for Neste, a prominent player in the oil and gas industry. This hire project in particular, underscores our expertise in providing reliable communication solutions for complex industrial operations.

 

Project Overview

Zenitel approached us with a requirement to supply approximately 1,000 additional Motorola radios to support a significant shutdown operation for Neste which spanned 4 months. The project spanned most of Finland and involved both onshore and offshore facilities, necessitating robust and dependable communication equipment for all those working on the sites.

 

Rental Equipment Supplied

To meet the project's demands, we provided a comprehensive suite of Motorola digital radios and accessories, including:

  • 200 Motorola R7A Premium Radios
  • 100 Motorola DP4400e Radios with Capacity Max keys
  • 30 Motorola ATEX VHF Radios for hazardous environments
  • 66 Six-Way Chargers
  • 100 In-Car 12-Volt Chargers for mobile charging
  • 150 Spare Batteries for both R7A and DP4400e devices

This equipment was integrated into Zenitel's existing infrastructure, which included over 30 Motorola Digital Repeaters operating on the Motorola Capacity Max system across onshore and offshore locations.

 

Logistical Coordination

Given the project's vast scale and tight timelines, meticulous planning was essential. Our team collaborated with customs agents, shipping companies, and road hauliers to ensure the timely delivery of equipment. We implemented GPS tracking for all the boxes holding the radio kit, plus the pallet itself, providing real-time visibility and ensuring adherence to the project schedule. It also allowed us to give a more accurate report to the team at Zenitel on where the pallet of kit was.

 

Quality Assurance

We prioritise the quality and safety of all our hire equipment, especially for critical operations in the oil and gas sector. All our Motorola ATEX radios supplied came with Certificates of Conformity, and all radios undergo regular inspections to meet stringent safety standards. On such a big project and not being close to home, it was vital to ensure our equipment performed.

 

Client Feedback

Our commitment to ensuring great customer service was reflected in the feedback from Zenitel's lead logistcs manager, Aleksander Valtanen:

"Thank you, Callum, for all your work with you and your colleagues on this project for us at Zenitel. We thank you for the assistance you provide throughout. It has been extremely good."

 

Our Expertise

This project highlights our capability to support large-scale shutdowns and construction projects within the oil and gas industry. Our knowledge and experience includes previous engagements, such as assisting the Dragon LNG facility in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, during maintenance and inspection shutdowns. This hire to Finland also highlights our ability to support other companies with their needs on important and sensitive commercial projects.

 

Conclusion

We are dedicated to delivering top-tier communication solutions for complex industrial projects. Our collaboration with Zenitel for Neste's operations illustrates our ability to manage large-scale logistics, ensure equipment quality, and meet the rigorous demands of the oil and gas sector.
