Derrick Assembly
Derrick Assembly refers to the process of constructing and erecting a Derrick, which is a crucial structure used in drilling operations, particularly in oil and gas extraction. Derricks support the drilling equipment and provide the necessary height and stability for drilling activities. The assembly process involves several stages, including the preparation, erection, and outfitting of the Derrick to ensure it is operational and meets all necessary specifications.
At AIMMS Group, our Derrick Assembly services are a cornerstone of our global operations. Our experienced Rig Building crews are adept at erecting and outfitting Derricks across diverse locations, working seamlessly with shipyards, Derrick manufacturers, drilling contractors, main contractors, and operators worldwide.
