As part of ConServ’s efforts to assure our employees and clients are safe and protected, Rig #4 recently underwent an API Level IV Mast Inspection in accordance with API RP4G consisting of blocks removal, mast and crown removal, sandblast to bare metal, ultrasonic and mag particle examination, painting, and reassembly. In addition to the mast, Rig #4’s blocks and bails were also inspected in accordance with API RP 8B. Lastly, the reassembled mast and components were subjected to a verification ‘pull test’ with a newly calibrated weight indicator.
Commenting on Rig #4, ConServ’s Vice President Doug Douglass stated: “Ensuring ConServ equipment is fully maintained is of utmost importance to ConServ, its employees, and its customers. API inspections are critical to ensuring that our equipment is safe and ready for operation. Often times, rig owners and customers don’t learn about API requirements (which equate to OSHA requirements where no OSHA specific regulations exist) until an unfortunate or tragic incident occurs.”
