Lloyd’s Register is assessing inspection and equipment restoration work to enable the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa reactor units. This work comprises two different examinations, a review of the documentation and procedures for the inspection and restoration work at the site, and technical audits to assess whether the inspection and restoration work complies with the procedures.

The client contracted us to see if the planned turn-around of its pressure vessels could be safely delayed by one to two years and, preferably, if the inspection time could be extended beyond 10 years. We used the risk profile created as a baseline for comparison with alternative inspection schemes. Various turn-around dates and inspection intervals were discussed and analysed in terms of risk and
cost savings. Based on our work, the client was able to delay the turn-around by two years, extend the pressure vessel internal inspections beyond 10 years and still meet the API-510 inspection code.

The owner-operator of a new, large Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant needed reassurances about the technical quality control process of its main Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor in Asia. Besides the audit of the main contractor, we also checked the work of various sub-suppliers and sub-contractors across the world.

Although further development is needed to bring the concept of floating wind turbines into commercial production, Hywind Demo has proven its technology works. Scandpower has been part of the project from the beginning, providing risk analysis and HSE support in both the project and operational phases.

This work has included performing several risk and hazard analyses, such as quantitative risk analysis and hazard identification (HAZID and HAZOP), concentrating on marine operations in particular. Scandpower has also acted as HSE engineer to assist the subcontractor, Master Marine, in building one of the service vessels to be used for installation purposes.

The Havøygavlen area faces extreme and challenging climate conditions, with strong winds of over nine metres per second on average, heavy rain and snow. The review of the existing governing system is of paramount importance, helping the client to proactively safeguard the safety of personnel, equipment and assets on site.

Besides establishing a manageable CUI programme, we developed a 10-year inspection plan with the client. Our prioritised list of items requiring future inspections was informed by both current and future risk. As a result of the project, the operator could spread the multi-million dollar maintenance costs over a five-year period, with maintained or reduced risk levels. Our objectives were met in less than six months.
