Orga Offshore has installed its innovative touchdown/positioning marking(TD/PM) circle and heliport identification marking LED lighting system - Circle-H -on offshore platform in the North Sea. The Orga CAP437-compliant TD/PM Circle-H helideck lighting system wasinstalled by Wood Group/PSN under the supervision of Orga Offshore andwas completed 6 September 2014. Providing expert advice, Orga worked closely with the Wood Group/PSN toinstall the safety lighting system on the platform's aluminium helideck. Thismarks the 14th TD/PM Circle-H helideck lighting installation so far this yearby Orga and the ninth commission on an aluminium helideck. Havingintensively researched and developed the best mounting methods for bothaluminium and steel helidecks - indeed, the first Circle-H installation in theworld was fitted on a steel deck by Orga - Orga is well positioned to help alloperators and rig owners meet the latest CAP437 requirements. Following almost a decade of research and trialling, in collaboration withOrga, to improve offshore helideck lighting, the UK CAA recentlyincorporated the circle and H helideck lighting configuration in itsinternationally acknowledged guidance on standards, CAP 437 - effectivelymandating the retrofit of the new lighting scheme to all helidecks in UKwaters. Approximately half of all helidecks are to be equipped by 1 April2016 and the remainder by 1 April 2018. Supervising the installation on this offshore platform, Martin Terwisscha vanScheltinga, International Services Engineer at Orga said: "We worked closelywith our customer and Wood Group/PSN to ensure the safe and correctinstallation of the Circle-H lighting system - this is crucial now that the lightshave been integrated into the helideck landing surface. "Throughout all Orga Circle-H installations this year, clients have beenimpressed with the simplicity of installation," said Terwisscha van Scheltinga."It is the clever design of our product with LED light-prepared module plateswhich enables easy installation and it is our approved different mountingmethods for steel and aluminium decks which ensures the structuralintegrity, durability and water-tightness of the helideck."The new Orga touchdown/positioning marking Circle-H helideck lightingsystem features specially developed long life LED modules on panels whichtogether form the full circle and H. The panels are semi-flexible and made oflow-profile aluminium or stainless steel plates with a special anti-slip coating.The housing of the LEDs is made of offshore resistant and fully sealed marineplastic of high quality.
