Training to inspect
ModuSpec has carried out over 5000
inspection surveys world wide.
ModuSpec also holds workshops in rig
inspections.
Rig Inspection Workshops introduce oilfield
staff how to perform a structured inspection of
rigs.
By having more trained eyes on site, more
potential safety and operational issues can be
identified.
Once identified, these can be removed.

To have the candidates visually inspect a rig,
independently.
•
To enable the candidates to carry out
inspections of critical areas.
•
To ensure they inspect to international rules and
standards.
•
To be able to evaluate maintenance standards
on the unit.
