Summary of the Project

Unique Group’s Diving & Life Support division was selected to build an ABS Classed, Zone 2 rated, Air/Nitrox Diving System by FSDS Diving Services in August 2016 and we delivered it within four months by February 2017.

Client Requirement

The client had a requirement for a Zone rated system which is used on diving projects on FPSO’s (Floating production storage and offloading) where there is a risk of hazardous and flammable gas clouds such as H2S.  These systems are to be designed for continuous operations during a gas cloud. The diving system is enclosed in pressurised and fire-rated containers. The containers are kept safe using gas protection systems and control over-pressurised spaces.
