Oil, gas and utilities
Line-of-fire exposure, red-zone control, mud and fluid splash, and load handling on rigs and utility networks.
On a drill floor the hazards are procedural as much as physical. Someone stands in the line of fire, a hand goes on a suspended load, a red zone stays occupied while the string moves.
VICAS™ monitors those behaviours continuously and flags them as they happen. On the utility side the same detection stack handles overhead line clearance and height monitoring.
What it detects
Restricted and red-zone entry
Entry into a hazardous area during an active operation is detected and time-stamped against the operation itself, including work at height on the derrick.
Line of fire
Workers positioned in the path of stored or moving energy are identified before the sequence starts, and the hazard is flagged live on the operator feed.
Hands on load
Unsafe manual contact with a suspended or tensioned load, such as tongs jerking under strain, is detected and recorded as an unsafe act.
Mud and fluid exposure
Sudden mud or fluid splash during an active operation is detected in real time, so exposed crew can be flagged and moved clear.
