ICON Test Tower - Applications and Benefits
ICON's test tower enables a wide range of testing to be conducted in the safety of a fixed tower. Contact us to see how we can customise test programs to suit your project requirements.
- Ideally suited for vertical rig-up / stack-up tests of drilling and completions equipment in a simulated derrick prior to offshore mobilisation.
- Full scale system integration testing, interface testing and function testing, eliminates potential costly downtime offshore.
- Extended operational testing of heave compensation systems replicating offshore heave conditions, proves equipment operability and reliability.
- Crew training and equipment familiarisation in a controlled environment, enhances safety and efficiency of offshore operations.
