Shell Offshore Platform: ATEX-Rated Equipment Cases
Challenge
Shell needed to transport electronic testing equipment, H2S sensors, and emergency gear between offshore platforms via helicopter and supply vessel. Cases must: (1) meet ATEX Zone 1 explosion-proof requirements, (2) survive salt spray 24/7, (3) handle helicopter vibration during crew transfers, (4) provide chain-of-custody for high-value equipment, (5) comply with Shell HSSE standards.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided ATEX-certified cases with: (1) Ex II 2G certification, (2) 316L stainless steel hardware + silicone seals, (3) Sorbothane shock mounts for helicopter transport, (4) serialized tamper-evident seals + chain-of-custody log, (5) Shell-branded with custom HSSE labels. Custom foam for Shell's standard H2S sensor kit + testing equipment.
Result
800 cases deployed across 12 offshore platforms. Zero equipment damage in 18 months. 100% HSSE compliance. Shell standardized KeXinMaterials for all offshore electronic equipment. Annual reorder 200+ cases for new platforms.
Client Testimonial
