We were approached by a client who was faced with a critical compliance issue following the loss of their Helideck Certificate, restricting the platform to daylight-only flying operations. This restriction posed a significant risk to the progress of an ongoing project. An urgent solution was needed to regain certification, minimise disruption to offshore operations, and ensure lighting compliance for night-time helicopter landings.

We mobilised to deliver a complete lighting solution in under two weeks. This included workpack, sourcing and delivery of materials, and the offshore team mobilised. The scope included the installation of 10 No. L85EX-R-AC-10 Orga Lights on the flare tower. To meet the challenges of access and tight timelines, we utilised our in-house IRATA-accredited Rope Access capabilities, enabling safe and efficient installation in a complex offshore environment. Despite SIMOPS challenges, the project was delivered safely, efficiently and to compliance standards through close collaboration with multiple offshore teams and departments.
Key deliverables:
• Complete Workpark and offshore resource mobilisation
• Urgent procurement and logistics of materials
• In-house IRATA-accredited Rope Access execution
• Flexible working
• SIMOPS and MOC managed with zero disruption
• Safety and compliance recognised by the offshore HSE -
All lighting was installed and commissioned within a two-week period. The platform’s full Helideck Certificate was reinstated, restoring full flight operations and removing a key operational bottleneck to the P&A campaign.
This project stands as a clear example of rapid mobilisation, cross-team cooperation and successful delivery under urgent conditions, returning the platform to operational readiness while significantly de-risking the flare stack environment.
All works were completed in line with industry standards and full adherence to CAA CAP437 guidelines. This project represents one of many fully compliant offshore services we deliver, and was acknowledged by the client for both its performance and impact.
