Double Leaf Roof Hatch - National Oilwell Varco

OVERVIEW

Introduction


Following consultations with our design team, Surespan designed and manufactured a large double roof hatch for the National Oilwell Varco Dunfermline factory in Scotland.


Products supplied

We supplied;


Surespan designed and manufactured bespoke double leaf hatches, measuring 4 metres by 4.3 metres. These hatches enable an external crane to lift the manifold units through the roof.

With the use of a key, these hatches are controlled by a small PLC that electrically operates the Hatches in an automated sequence.

Features:

The bespoke double leaf hatches were specially designed to stay open utilising strut locking to withstand the wind condition they specified with the design team.


The project


The NOV Dunfermline factory experienced difficulties building tall manifold assemblies due to the restricted height of the building. Following a consultation with our experienced design team, they were able to design a solution to solve the issue.

The outcome: NOV were able to continue its operation in the existing factory without having to hire temporary premises.
