Supply and support for offshore drilling and production assets

MurphyEx supplies securing devices, secondary retention systems and associated fixing hardware to control dropped object risk on offshore assets. We cover safety nets, steel lanyards, locking hardware, attachment point review and installation support to help achieve clean close-out.

Dropped object prevention starts at the fixing.

Most dropped object issues start with the primary fixing vibration, loosening, poor locking or unsuitable hardware. Control begins there, not with the net alone.

MurphyEx supports the full chain: primary attachment, resistance to loosening, securing devices, secondary retention systems and final installed condition aligned to offshore inspection and acceptance.

Scope includes bolts, studs, washers, lock nuts, wedge-lock washers, safety wire, shackles, clips, carabiners and tethering hardware used to secure equipment in service.

Securing devices, secondary retention systems and associated fixings.

MurphyEx supplies dropped object prevention products selected for offshore service, practical field installation and inspection-ready close-out on live assets.

Floodlight fitted with stainless steel safety net

Fit-to-size safety nets

Stainless steel securing devices used within a secondary retention system to enclose overhead fixtures where failure of the primary fixing could create dropped object exposure.

  • AISI 316 stainless steel wire construction
  • 100 mm mesh aperture
  • Ferrule mesh configuration
  • Supplied with lanyard, carabiner and identification tag where required
Linear strip light fitted with safety net

Safety net roll systems

Secondary retention systems used where equipment geometry varies and the installed arrangement needs to be cut and fitted around irregular fixtures.

  • Suitable for campaign work and mixed equipment profiles
  • Cut-to-size installation onsite
  • Used with steel securing devices and attachment hardware
  • Practical for complex or non-standard assets
Steel securing lanyards with dual action carabiner

Steel securing lanyards

Stainless steel securing devices used within a secondary retention system to restrain fixtures at height and provide independent back-up restraint.

  • AISI 316 stainless steel cable
  • 7 x 19 cable construction
  • Defined safe working load
  • Supplied with carabiner or alternative connection hardware as required

Verified load capacity and offshore-ready construction.

Offshore acceptance depends on defined load capacity, material selection, attachment method and correct installed condition.

Our safety net systems provide documented breaking load and safe working load, with DNVGL and ABS verification available where required. Certificates and supporting documentation are supplied with the equipment.

Supporting documentation Certificates available on request Installed condition verified as part of close-out

Acceptance depends on load capacity, attachment method and installed condition, not branding alone.

Supply scaled to fleet-wide close-out.

Dropped object prevention is rarely one item in isolation. Campaigns usually involve multiple lights, strip lights, speakers, cameras and other exposed equipment across the asset.

MurphyEx supports supply of the full control package, including securing devices, secondary retention systems, attachment hardware and fixing upgrades required to close out multiple findings in a controlled way.

Control starts at the fixing, not at the net.

MurphyEx supports dropped object prevention with fixing and locking hardware used to reduce loosening, detachment and dropped object exposure in service.

Mechanical fixing and bolt retention detail

Primary attachment failure often starts with vibration, poor locking arrangement or unsuitable hardware. Secondary retention systems control the consequence. Correct fixing selection helps prevent the failure in the first place.

MurphyEx can support review and supply of installation hardware used to strengthen the overall control chain around equipment at height.

Primary fixing control

  • Stainless bolts and machine screws
  • Studs and threaded rod
  • Lock nuts and prevailing torque nuts
  • Jam nuts and double-nut arrangements where required
  • Flat washers, backing washers and spring washers
  • Wedge-lock washers
  • Tab washers and locking plates

Secondary retention systems

  • Configured restraint for removable components
  • Installed back-up restraint arrangements
  • Independent secondary support arrangements
  • Attachment point review for restraint systems
  • Installed enclosure systems for exposed fixtures
  • Secondary restraint review for non-integral items
  • Inspection-ready installed arrangements

Securing devices

  • Steel securing lanyards
  • Fit-to-size nets
  • Net roll systems for irregular assemblies
  • Carabiners, shackles and attachment hardware
  • Field installation checks
  • Tagging and identification
  • Inspection and close-out support

Installed condition is the control point.

Securing devices and secondary retention systems only perform when correctly installed. Offshore failure is often driven by access, installation quality and fixing selection.

MurphyEx delivers installation through rope access and rig-based teams, enabling direct intervention at height without reliance on scaffolding or deferred access.

This supports correct fixing, secure attachment and verified installed condition aligned to inspection and acceptance requirements.

Field logic that holds up in service.

01

Assess the fixture and its fixing

Review the equipment, bracket condition, fixing arrangement and available attachment point for secondary restraint.

02

Select the system and device

Choose the secondary retention system, securing device and fixing hardware suited to the equipment, environment and installation method.

03

Install and secure correctly

Fit, secure and tighten the system so the fixture is properly enclosed or restrained and attached to sound structure.

04

Verify and close out

Confirm installed condition, tagging, integrity of fixings and final securing arrangement for handover.

Supply aligned to field close-out, not catalogue theory.

MurphyEx supports dropped object prevention as part of real execution scope: rig intake, inspection campaigns, DROPS reviews, fixing upgrades, secondary retention system installation, securing device installation and close-out of exposed items found in the field.

The objective is to reduce the risk, secure the equipment, verify the installed condition and close the exposure properly.

Typical support scope

  • DROPS-related inspection and walkdown support
  • Installed condition review for existing fixtures
  • Fixing upgrade and locking hardware selection
  • Secondary retention system review
  • Safety net and steel lanyard supply support
  • Rope access installation support where access drives the risk
  • Close-out verification and punch reduction

Discuss dropped object risk before it becomes corrective work offshore.

MurphyEx can support product selection, installation review, fixing assessment, secondary retention system improvement, inspection close-out and dropped object prevention supply packages for drilling and production assets.
