PADEYE LOAD TESTING IN QATAR
To ensure operational safety during lifting operations, pad eyes, lifting lugs, lifting hooks, lifting points, and lashing hooks must be inspected annually or on regular intervals. The project requirements, API, LEEA, and DNV-ST-N001 standards must be followed for each pad eye load test, inspection, and certification. Our ASNT-certified NDT specialists performed an NDT assessment of pad eyes using the appropriate methods for magnetic particle inspection and eddy current testing. Our IRATA-certified rope access service specialists will use SWL marks to code color and stencil pad eyes. Pull testing and certifications must be performed by a portable hydraulic pad eye tester with different capacities up to 350 tons. We can perform various welding qualification and welder testing services in Qatar to verify that the welder or welding operator can make sound quality welds. We provide ABS Approved welding procedures for welding compliance with the American Welding Society (AWS), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and BS EN Standards related to the welding engineering practices.
To clarify it precisely, the ABS, BV, DNV, RINA, and NK maritime classification societies have approved us as one of the best offshore lifting services. We have access to all of Qatar’s major ports, as well as offshore and anchorages. The following are the pad eye load testing inspection, certification codes, and standards:
- DNV-ST-N001: Sections on lifting lugs, pad eyes, and appliances that cover marine operations, safety, and marine warranties.
- DNV-ST-0378: The design, inspection, testing, and certification of pad eyes, lifting hooks, and lifting lugs in offshore platforms and jackets are examined.
- DNVGL-CG-0128: Load Testing of Lifting Appliances covers the specifications and methods for proof load testing.
- API RP 2D: Operations and Maintenance of Offshore Cranes cover pad eye and lifting lug inspection, maintenance, and testing.
- API RP 2A-WSD requests that pad eyes or lifting points be designed and built at fixed offshore platforms.
- ISO 7531: Inspection, testing, and maintenance of wire rope slings.
- API RP 2A-WSD requests that pad eyes or lifting points be designed and built at fixed offshore platforms.
LIFTING POINTS CERTIFICATION IN QATAR
All lifting points, including trunnions and lifting lugs, must adhere to the standards and guidelines for offshore safety. Proof load testing, inspection, and certification of trunnions and lifting points must be done offshore using dynamometer load cells, calibrated water bags, and lifting attachments. Lifting points are subject to yearly certification and inspection, as well as five-year load testing, in accordance with project requirements and offshore laws. Lug pull tests are conducted offshore using a calibrated pad eye tester that conforms with SOLAS and IMO requirements.
