JoBird are just finishing a batch of cyclone wind speed rated personal escape kit cabinets for the Shell’s not normally manned (NNM), Crux gas platform located 190km off the coast of Western Australia. This is linked to the Prelude project and continues a long running collaboration between Shell, Sembcorp, Wood, KBR and Viking life-saving. As well as JoBird of course!
These JB18 double doored cabinets have been customised to match the engineer’s exacting specifications and will be located out of doors in all weathers including typhoons. The cabinets are not only reinforced to withstand 45 metres per second wind speeds but also feature flame retardant resins. Furthermore, they are fitted with 316 stainless steel door stays so the doors can be secured in the open position when the contents are being checked. The small additional catch on the doors, is an extra safety feature in case the interlocking doors are left slightly open. It can also easily be fitted with an anti-tamper seal.
