I would like to have your opinions about an offshore production platform helicopter refuelling installation.
To make it short,the flare on this rig, is obviously too close from helideck and its fueling system, the radiating temperature on the deck surface is commonly measured at 47°C and is about the same on helicopter skin after a short st.by. Depending upon the wind, small drops of burning crude oil spill everywhere in the vicinity, a shield of (salted) water doesn't change these figures a lot.
Untill now we are not happy to approve this new refuelling installation and to stand by here but we cannot find any regulation dealing with this matter.
The platform's engineering service keeps telling us there is nothing wrong in their design.
Does somedy here knows something about this ?
Waiting your answers before everything ends up in ashes
Thanks !
