Off-shore oil & gas
Off-shore facilities are exposed to a number of bird-related risks that may result in significant asset damages among other bad accidents. Birds are natural enemies of helicopters, being the main vehicle of transport to and from a platform. Apart from the risk of bird strike with the aircraft, bird waste and excrements on a helipad may compromise signage visibility with potentially deadly consequences in bad weather conditions.
Expensive machinery, pipe networks, and industrial exhaust ducts are all prone to damage from the presence of birds and their activity around the platform, leading to costly repairs and operational disturbances.
Our automated and manual solutions for off-shore facilities can help keep birds away, securing a safe working environment in nature-friendly way.
