Abfad ltd Company Profile November 2014Chris Haritou
Innovative Project Management and Solution
Development of Rope Access Projects
Abfad Ltd takes a unique approach to Rope Access Services; we focus on developing rope access skills for trade personnel. Time‐ served
welder, for example, can be taught the specific rope access skills however methodologies for actually performing hot work at height need
to be fine‐tuned to carry out welding work efficiently, productively and safely, the same level of expertise can be delivered to all trades by
short in house training.
Many rope access personnel now train on a three day blasting and spraying course through OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industry Training
Organisation) and promote themselves as blaster/sprayers, they do not have the necessary skills to perform this work safely or provide the
quality necessary for clients. Abfad can deliver scalable trade testing to ensure that personnel mobilising do have the necessary trade skills to
perform the work.
We believe the correct process is to train trades persons to work at height so they can provide a quality service for clients.
Unskilled persons with a rope access level 1 or 2 need to be apprenticed with skilled labour so they can attain the necessary skills to be a
valuable asset to a company. ABFAD Ltd take this approach with our personnel and train necessary skills as required for projects.
Falls from height are the most frequent cause of fatalities at construction sites and continue to be a major concern with the HSE. It is
particularly important that Health and Safety Systems are second to none when working at heights. ABFAD has a remarkable history of safety
during our 16 years in business. Although I have good experience in H&S offshore and onshore over the past 30 years I maintain training in Occupational Health and Safety and am currently finishing an NVQ level 5 in Occupational Health and Safety, modules I am informed are equivalent to Degree Level.
World‐class Technology Solutions
Abfad have also developed a patented double skin lining system for underground and above‐ground storage tanks.that is currently in the final stages of accreditation from Europe’s most significant assessment arm TUV Nord. The system has already generated huge interest on the worldwide stage, with significant enquiries being generated from as far afield as China, Saudi Arabia, United States and Canada.
FUELVAC® double skin liner is the most environmentally‐friendly system developed and in use in the UK and, we believe, the World.
The system uses engineered manufactured materials and solvent‐free resins which creates a seamless liner.
A description of the features and benefits of the system is also available on the website.
Since 2006 to present time over 100 underground storage tanks have been installed within the UK and in 2011 Abfad double skin lined two tanks for Simon Storage. FUELVAC® double‐skin liner installed with vacuum leak detection monitoring is the highest fo

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
2. Scroby Sands Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm
located 2.5km off the coast of Great Yarmouth on
the Scroby Sands sandbank in the North Sea.
The wind farm itself is owned and operated by E.ON
and consists of 30 wind turbine generators each

6. Having extensive experience in
dealing with corrosion and specialist
coatings, Abfad Ltd were brought in
to refurbish the monopiles
steelwork from grating elevation to
sea level, using rope
access techniques and Abfad's
unique Magnet System.
Once on the monopile structure the
extent of the corrosion could be
clearly seen. Blasting to SA2.5
standard was carried out to remove
all sections of corrosion and the
existing coating was profiled and
feathered back and the new
protective coating applied by airless
spray unit.
www.abfad.co.uk
7. Abfad's patented permanent Magnet System
has proven invaluable in areas that can only
be accessed by rope but need a reliable
method of moving the rope technician closer
to the working surface and anchoring them
securely to enable them to carry out the
required work.
Use of this Magnet System provides the user
with a productivity advantage, increasing the
speed of work, such as blasting, spraying,
mechanical surface preparation, welding,
drilling, NDT inspections etc. by securing the
rope technician to the working substrate and
enabling a greater precision of work.

8. The work by Abfad was a complete
success with all corrosion removed and
the new coating applied, ensuring the
monopile was left with optimum
protection against the elements.
The work itself was carried out in two phases to enable
complete refurbishment of the monopile.
Phase 1 consisted of structural steelwork below the
walkway gratings being refurbished.
Phase 2 was to refurbish all steelwork below the colalr
section to sea elevation.
Walkway gratings and davit arms were removed in stages
to enable each phase to be succesfully completed before
moving onto the next.

13. PROTECTIVE COATING
Once all blasting was
completed, the met mast
was spray coated with a
protective coating in order
to protect it from further
corrosion.
14. Once new ladder and clamp sections were
fabricated and coated ready for
installation, they were installed using
powered (battery) winches to swiftly lift the
clamps and ladder sections in to place and
hold them steady while they were installed
by Abfad personnel using rope access
techniques. This was to ensure the support
vessel deck was not damaged during the
lifting process and sea swells.

21. MET MAST LATTICE TOWER
REMOVAL
In 2015 E.ON wanted the lattice
tower structure of the Met Mast
removed.
Having over 20 years experience of
onshore and offshore rope access
Abfad were the ideal candidates to
undertake such a task.
www.abfad.co.uk
22. Removal Using
Rope Access
The lattice tower is
constructed in two
distinct sections, with
the upper part making
up about 40% of the
tower and consisting of
both flanged and bolted
vertical sections with
welded diagonal
tubular bars.
www.abfad.co.uk
23. The lower section of the
lattice tower is made up
of both vertical and
diagonal struts which
are fully bolted.
www.abfad.co.uk
25. The lattice tower needed to
be removed in manageable
sections, along with any
instrumentation. Abfad used
rope access techniques to
rig up a pulley system
which would safely and
securely lower the cut steel
sections onto the walkway
and then onto a service
vessel for disposal.
www.abfad.co.uk
26. PROJECT
COMPLETE
All sections of the Met Mast Lattice
tower were cut and removed by
Abfad's trained rope access
technicians, lowered using a rope
access pulley system and taken away
and disposed of by E.ON.
The job was a complete success and
accomplished well within schedule. www.abfad.co.uk
27. Abfad Limited have been established since 1996
and provide IRATA approved rope access
services, both onshore and offshore.
