Jacking System Audits

JACKING SYSTEM AUDITS

The Jacking System Audit / Jacking System Health Check provides an independent technical evaluation of the jacking system installed on jack-up rigs, barges and platforms, to mitigate the risk of structural, mechanical or control system failure.

The audit verifies that operational practices, maintenance programs and certification status are aligned with OEM requirements, Class rules and recognized industry standards.
