line equipment maintenance

Acquiring seismic data of the highest quality is dependent upon many factors. Amongst of the most important is the quality and fidelity of a contractor's geophones and line equipment.

Keeping line equipment at its optimum in harsh operating environments is challenging for any contractor. United Geophysical invest heavily in time and effort to meet the challenge to ensure the highest quality acquisition of seismic data for all our clients.

United Geophysical has in place a robust and highly practical quality management system for line equipment maintenance. Our project management system defines clear standards for line equipment preventative and rotational maintenance. These standards are implemented into our workshop procedures and manuals.

Frequent formal and informal training of our workshop staff ensures the highest standards expected by our clients. All United Geophysical line equipment maintenance staff receive regular and ongoing training. Regular audit and cross audit maintained by staff and management further strengthen maintenance practices.

Engineering workshop staff attend monthly quality control meetings, here problems are discussed and solutions agreed upon. Implementation of solutions are then put to use through the use of a corrective action register allowing the engineering manager to assign action parties and time frames to close out each action point. Achieving a quality loop of continuous improvement that ensures our line equipment is always at its best in the field and delivers data enabling our clients to make well informed decisions.
