Offshore Painting
The major constraint with painting offshore is the ability to access structures. Toprope's vast experience in gaining access and working in a variety of environments enables us to offer the most efficient and cost-effective solutions to each particular environment.
Toprope has painted flares, jack-up legs, helidecks, FPSO's and VLCC ballast tanks without using traditional scaffolding techniques.
We employ innovative solutions that minimise downtime and interference with routine operations.
Surface Preparation
Ultra High Pressure Water Blasting
Toprope supplies qualified blasting crews and UHP water blasters. This ensures continuous service of the machines as well as high production rates.
Dry Grit Blasting
Traditional methods of surface preparation are efficiently handled by Toprope operators giving blast profiles for inspecting any location.
Mechanical Preparation
Localising repairs and managing time constraints calls for innovative solutions. Toprope crews are able to mobilize and access platforms, rigs and ships within short notice anywhere in the world. They use modern surface tolerant coatings to guarantee a high quality finish.
Painting
Toprope painters work in accordance with stringent quality control procedures to ensure the correct application and durability of final products.
Ship Maintenance
Toprope crews have over 10 years of experience in specialised maintenance services on crude tankers and FPSO's. The strategic location of our offices enables us to service large vessels along major trade routes.
Maintenance and Tank Cleaning
Comprehensive maintenance and cleaning services are available from Toprope to service ships worldwide. Invaluable time can be saved prior to docking by the use of our experienced riding crews.
Ballast Tank Painting
Toprope specialists carry out Ultra High Pressure Water Blasting and painting of ballast tanks whilst at sea. Our crews use access techniques including scaffolding to reach the elevated areas of tanks and thus create substantial cost savings.
