This project exemplifies Engport Group's "think big" philosophy. When we couldn't find portable machining equipment suppliers in Brazil, we chose to develop our own solution.
THE EXTREME CHALLENGE
Seatrium needed to machine 70+ structural pads on platforms P80 and P83 for Petrobras. Specifications:
- Tolerance: ±0.05mm (fifty micrometers!)
- Roughness: Ra ≤ 6.3 μm
- Absolute flatness with dial indicator
- 100% Petrobras approval
INNOVATION: WE DEVELOPED OUR OWN EQUIPMENT
- International component research
- Import from China
- Customized design
- Assembly and calibration
- Operator training
Investment: R$50,000 (components acquired from international suppliers, engineering team working daily to develop automation software)
Risk: Total
Outcome: Worked perfectly
EXECUTION
P80: 3 months, 2 teams in rotation, 35+ pads - 100% approval
P83: Contract extended excellently - additional 3 months, 35+ pads - 100% approval
RESULTS
✅ Developed non-existent capability in the Brazilian market
✅ 100% approval on 70+ pads (zero rework)
✅ Contract extended
✅ Equipment is now our permanent differentiator
DATA
- Machined pads: 70+
- Precision: ±0.05mm (met)
- Teams: 2 on rotation
- Duration: 6 months (P80 + P83)
- Petrobras approval: 100%
