Dräger Marine and Offshore UK Secures A Significant Order For The Provision Of Wireless Gas Detection To An Onshore Terminal
- The c.€1M order will be the single largest Dräger installation in the UK and one of our largest wireless gas detection installations globally, and represents a significant step forward in the adoption of wireless technology within the UK energy industry.
- The new contract is also thought to be the largest wireless gas detection system employed by a North Sea operator. Work will commence on the project, that includes the installation of over 120 wireless gas detectors, in September.
- The project was very time sensitive making wireless technology a great solution due to its fast deployment, using wireless technology also kept installation costs to a minimum whilst still providing the ability to precisely locate the detectors where the risk was deemed highest without having to consider existing brownfield infrastructure as part of the installation philosophy.
- As the oil and gas industry returns to tough market conditions, wireless gas detection offers an attractive solution to improve safety by using the latest technology whilst also keeping cost to a minimum.
