ORPIC conduct a complete turnaround every 2 years of the oil refinery they operate in Sohar, Oman. This high-cost, large maintenance project includes opening vessels, replacing equipment, repairing pipelines and carrying out high-risk tasks. Such a large project involves thousands of workers and it is essential that all activities are conducted precisely to avoid accidents, damage and delays.
RRC was contracted in 2009 and 2013 to safely manage the project. RRC employed our HSE practitioners to provide field management for all high-risk activities, starting with the planning phase and moving onto project execution and starting up the plant to produce oil.
Mr. Juma AlMukhaini, HSE Specialist at ORPIC, on RRC assistance and training:
“RRC practitioners have helped us to reduce costs tremendously and save lives that could have otherwise been lost due to the high risk of the activities being carried out. ORPIC HSE needed help to ensure all of our contractors’ work was controlled and monitored. Such success in this project would not have been realized without the help of RRC.”
