Our parts prevent injury or worse for brave oil rig deck hands that depend on exact & precise data to know well in advance of a high-pressure build up so adjustments can be made to prevent tragedy.

Customer

• Large Petroleum Refinery / Oil Giant Subsidiary.

Application

• Part Consolidation and Proper material selection for the end use environment.

Challenge

• Existing enclosures that house critical life-saving sensors and alert systems deteriorate over time when mounted on offshore oil platforms due to harsh sea air and unpredictable storm weather.

Solution

• PrintForm assisted the customer’s engineering teams in improving the existing design to better protect itself in harsh conditions including a fully integrated dual material control panel allowing buttons to depress on the now seamless 2 piece housing while additionally selecting a more appropriate rigid plastic for the environment.

Benefit

• Lives potentially saved with longer life enclosures and more predictable routine maintenance schedules allowing a more proactive approach to switching outwear components rather than purely reactive fleet repairs. Sensors and alert systems better protected from failures due to failure points on old enclosures.
