During the first few months of operation, newbuilds experience a shakeout period during which unforeseen control systems issues arise. These issues must be classified accurately and resolved quickly in order to avoid costly downtime. Additionally, issues found during Commissioning and Acceptance often remain unresolved.
Our DTA Consultants sail with your rig during initial mobilization and remain on board for the first few months of operation to:
- Continue to track, and work with vendors to resolve, punch list items found earlier in the newbuild cycle
- Identify and resolve newfound issues related to control systems software and interfaces
- Recommend solutions as needed
- Retest systems as necessary to establish fitness for purpose
- Deliver an End of Engagement report with all findings and recommendations
How We're Different
- Mitigating control systems-related risk requires deep software experience and the ability to take a holistic view. Our consultants average 20+ years of software, hardware, and network topology experience, have been thoroughly trained on our methods, and receive ongoing training to upgrade their skills.
- Many failures are a result of poor communication or disorganization. Our consultants are effective communicators, experienced project managers and are skilled at knowledge transfer and issue resolution management.
- We know what is possible to change and what is not. We don’t waste time recommending impractical changes; instead we offer actionable solutions.
