Storage

Radioactive Stores

Description

BenchMark Wireline manufactures containers for the safe transport and storage of radioactive sources.

These are built specifically to meet customer requirements. Based on the prescribed emissions level and the type of source being used plus the volume of material needed to be stored, a custom solution will be provided.

Features and Benefits

The storage unit is designed from the inside out. Specific containment is determined and then the proper shielding is added to meet customer requirements. The completed unit can be fitted into a very rugged transport frame.

Acceptable materials include Americium/Beryllium (Am/Be) and Cesium (Ce). The store will easily accommodate calibration tools, emergency kits etc.

All Radiation Stores are manufactured to DNV 2.7-1 and BS EN 12079 and can be fitted with various options such as acoustic beacons and buoys.

Tool Racks

Description

BenchMark Wireline manufactures custom tool racks for both offshore and onshore wireline operations. Tool racks are built to customer specification. They can be made to accommodate any length of tool and the rack can be either single or multi-level units.

Features and Benefits

A unique option to BenchMark Wireline racks is their anti-vibration technology. Shock pads are placed in the rack to minimize costly tool damage during transport.

Additionally, BenchMark Wireline racks feature an advanced strapping system. The ratchet strap system allow a single strap to tie down all the tools on the rack thus avoiding the need of wrapping a strap around each individual tool.

All hardware including the ratchets are either stainless steel or hot zinc sprayed and painted to minimize corrosion.

Tool racks are built to DNV 2.7-1 BS EN 12079 standards.

BenchMark Wireline’s trailer mounted tool rack offers significant advantages in tool transport between the shop and the well site. These lightweight flexible trailers can be pulled with light duty trucks using either bumper or fifth-wheel/goose-neck hitches.

The trailers are mounted with adjustable air bags controlled by a trailer-mounted compressor and do an extraordinary job of protecting tools from damage over rough terrain. The trailer is designed around the tool specifications and can have any number of axles or wheels.
