Scope of Work

Centurion was contracted to upgrade and refurbish office spaces, mud laboratories, and recreation areas aboard a drilling rig during its tow from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to Invergordon, Rosshire. The challenge was to deliver a comprehensive accommodation refurbishment and upgrades project within a tight six-week timeline, under operational constraints related to offshore rig transfer and complex scheduling. 

Execution

Centurion’s Accommodation & Modular team began the project by deploying two outfitters onboard the rig. A full survey of the accommodation was conducted, and a detailed report, including budgets and upgrade recommendations, was submitted. Upon client approval, Centurion mobilized its team to deliver refurbishment works across multiple accommodation areas.

The team managed procurement, design adjustments, material logistics, and manpower to meet the client’s requirements on schedule. As the timeline was extended from 6 to 18 weeks, the scope expanded to include five additional areas due to the high standard of the initial execution.

Custom-built furniture, lighting, ceiling systems, wallcoverings, and flooring were all manufactured, delivered, and installed within the extended project period. Daily updates and close collaboration with the client ensured all requirements were addressed swiftly. Centurion’s project managers regularly visited the site to ensure progress alignment and client satisfaction. 

Outcome

Centurion completed the accommodation area refurbishment ahead of the rig’s departure from Invergordon, delivering over 5,800 man-hours of high-quality work without any accidents.

The client received enhanced living and working spaces, significantly improving onboard comfort and extending the lifespan of existing accommodation areas.

The project demonstrated Centurion’s capability to mobilize quickly, manage evolving requirements, and deliver complex refurbishment projects safely and efficiently in a demanding offshore environment.
