IQIP offers integrated solutions for complex construction projects both onshore and offshore. IQIP plays an extensive role in the construction industry, ranging from advisory to executing the most challenging tasks, such as offshore wind turbines installation. Here are essential roles that IQIP plays to help you achieve your dreams and meet industry standards in your construction projects.

1. Assists Contractors To Operate IQIP Equipment

One of the most critical roles that IQIP plays in current onshore and offshore construction projects is helping contractors to operate its equipment. Under the contract, IQIP makes sure that contractors have access to all necessary facilities, technical knowledge, training resources, equipment expertise, and workforce to operate IQIP's equipment as per project requirements. Proper handling is crucial for the successful operation of any construction job, whether an oil well drilling rig or a new airport terminal building.

Therefore, IQIP aims to provide each contractor with individualized operating procedures that fit their operational needs while still maintaining safety standards at all times. Hence, every contractor can efficiently operate the equipment under the strict supervision of trained personnel at all times.

The assistance helps the contractors save time, become more efficient, and help prevent accidents that may lead to costly delays. It can also save their workers' lives, which are invaluable and irreplaceable.

2. Offers Advice on Installation Methods of A Foundation Design

Offshore foundation installation projects play a crucial role in creating massive artificial structures. The process of installing foundations, or any facility that needs support on the seafloor, is not an easy task to accomplish and requires the input of well-versed experts who can provide quality advice that will prevent any issues from occurring in the future.

Offshore wind farm foundations, such as monopiles and jacket foundations, are typical in constructing offshore installations. Offshore construction can be a complicated undertaking requiring numerous design decisions. The design of an offshore structure will vary from award-winning, world-renowned projects to small, project-specific solutions.

IQIP professionals will advise on the best installation method for your offshore structures to withstand the forces acting on them and for appearance, convenience, and their ability to be safe for the crew members and the surrounding environment. Therefore, it's essential to seek an expert opinion on your best options before proceeding with any project.

3. IQIP Technicians React Swiftly To Unforeseen Challenges

When it comes to onshore construction projects, unanticipated events are common occurrences. Unprecedented challenges can be especially challenging in offshore locations. During times of crisis, IQIP technicians have been able to assess situations calmly, troubleshoot issues, implement solutions, and effectively communicate with stakeholders.

The ability of IQIP professionals to react swiftly to challenges has resulted in less downtime for projects and decreased project costs by preventing expensive delays. A team of IQIP skilled technicians will solve most issues before escalating out of control. Many large complex projects run into snags along their completion timeline due to small, unforeseen tasks becoming critical problems. During these moments, IQIP teams with dedicated members perform better than those that assemble when a problem arises.

4. Helps In Monitoring  and Modifications of Your Fleet of Equipment

Your fleet of equipment is your crown jewel, so it's vital to keep a close eye on their condition. IQIP equipment experts will provide solutions that can help you monitor your equipment to ensure that everything is running smoothly and help you identify any areas for improvement. They will give you an accurate assessment of your equipment performance before problems arise, which means you can address potential issues as soon as they occur.

IQIP will also offer advice on services like overhauls, repairs, and support with keeping your fleet up-to-date and customized services for all kinds of clients in various industries. Additionally, IQIP will help you customize your equipment by making modifications that help you meet your new demands. The offshore oil and gas industry is becoming one of the most demanding industries on earth. New technology, new requirements, new standards, and new challenges are just a few to mention. Hence the reason IQIP has introduced custom modifications to its equipment.

5. Offers MIQIP Data Service Platform 

MIQIP offers a fully integrated platform for operation intelligence of foundation installation assets, from foundations to umbilicals. Its objective is to make data available via a single interface for all stakeholders in an on-and-offshore project. MIQIP goes beyond simply providing equipment information, as it provides detailed 3D models of topsides and subsea structures in addition to their associated foundations, facilitating preplanning work.

Furthermore, MIQIP contains hyperlinks with other software platforms like C-36 CONTROL SYSTEM. MIQIP also helps in efficient reporting,  remote monitoring of assets,  real-time asset tracking & management, 24*7. These features form part of a philosophy that places knowledge at your fingertips to plan more effectively - whether you are out at sea or back at base. The platform enables you to view the pile driving and other foundation operations.

6. Offers Equipment Training and Certification Through IQIP Institute

While IQIP offers several products to help companies in their on-site operations, it also provides specialized services through its Institutional Members. One such service is training construction workers on critical equipment such as Hydrohammer, handling and lifting tools, control systems, foundation installation equipment, and decommissioning equipment. Companies can access certified trainers who offer classes in blowout prevention, welding, crane operation, and more. The training helps share knowledge to improve safety and productivity in the construction industry, both onshore and offshore.

7. Offers Concept Design and Engineering Services

IQIP company carries out its obligations within the contract by carrying out all tasks necessary to ensure that design and technical services are of high quality. The contractor is responsible for all work output, methods, and procedures and ensures the safety of the employees. IQIP professionals also deliver valuable insights to clients to help them make efficient and timely investment decisions.

They will help you design and install offshore jackets, monopile foundations, mooring of floating wind turbines, decommissioning projects, and pile driving and drilling. IQIP equipment, including the Integrated Monipile Installer, enables the company to create projects that meet your needs and standards and withstand a test of time.
