NCOE TAKES A LOOK AT UXO IN CRISIS MANAGEMENT
At NCOE our goal is to generate business value for clients by delivering projects, that are efficient in both capital investment and long-term operation.
SYNERGIES NCOE’s previous articles highlighted the synergies between the mature oil and gas industry and the offshore wind farm industry.
OFFSHORE WIND
Crisis Management (CM) is another area whereby the wind farm industry can learn much from the Oil and Gas industry without having to start a fresh. Like so many other things in industry this has been developed through lessons learned over the years. Although some would say the two industries are very different with offshore platforms have personnel living on them and a hydrocarbon inventory. However, after further investigation one will realise that crisis management is on a wider scale, about the management of an incident’s potential ability to impact company reputation, operability, viability or earning power.
RECENT BANKING CRISIS We may all remember the recent event unrelated to safety which was the IT problem RBS, Natwest and Ulster bank customers had in June this year, where millions of customers couldn’t get access to their money or their accounts for several days due to a software upgrade going wrong. This impacted at least three of the aforementioned categories. The size of the problem was on a scale far bigger and for a longer time than has ever happened at any British bank since they went computerised. I am sure the banks at the heart of the matter have now revised whatever crisis management procedure they had before the incident.
UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE
To return to the subject of the wind energy and oil and gas industries, one of the problems that can instigate CM is that of UneXploded Ordnance, which is most often encountered unexpectedly, during construction of facilities, particularly when excavation or dredging is underway.
