New Windrock Offering
Optimizes Compressors
HOUSTON-Windrock, a Dover Energy Automation company, has launched
its Spotlight monitoring system, which it
describes as an automated, real-time solution that leverages Industrial Internet
of Things principles to deliver insights
into the health and performance of critical
reciprocating assets.
Spotlight is a plug-and-play solution
that utilizes edge hardware, called Spotlight
PUC, to acquire high-speed rotating data,
Windrock details. The company says the
Spotlight controller sends the data through
a gateway to a Microsoft® Azure-hosted
cloud, where Windrock Enterprise data
visualization software provides actionable
insights and uncovers trends concerning
the health of the entire fleet of assets.
The Spotlight system allows for tiered
services to enable digital transformation,
Windrock says. Customers may use the
powerful monitoring tier to get complete
visibility and then augment it with algorithmic
analyses from Windrock Enterprise, the
company details, noting that the premium
"Optimize" tier offers full service optimization
advisories from Windrock experts.

Garland Energy Systems says its new containment membrane for tank batteries, the
Fusion™ 50 TB, provides a consistent and durable 50 mils thickness of PVC waterprooﬁng
that can be installed in any temperature and humidity. The company says it manufactures
the membranes at its production facility to control the thickness and quality for every installation. The heavy reinforcement layer bonded to the bottom offers a barrier to potential
penetrations from below the containment surface, and the textured surface is slip resistant
for safety, Garland adds. For information, call 330-289-2852 or visit www.garlandenergy.com.

Dynamic Completes Work On Huge Offshore Project
NEW IBERIA, LA.-Dynamic Industries Inc. reports it has completed a fivemodule fabrication project for one of the
world's major oil companies.
The modules will be integrated into a
semisubmersible floating production plat-

Long SkyX Drone Flights Speed Pipeline Inspection
TORONTO-SkyX Systems Corp.
says its SkyOne unmanned aerial system
has completed a 62-mile flight, one of
the longest journeys in its class.
The flight was part of a mission in
Mexico that involved flying over a gas
pipeline to gather high-resolution imagery,
SkyX relates. The company says the mission has identified more than 200 potentially
significant anomalies along the remote
pipeline route, ranging from unauthorized
buildings and cultivation, to a fissure possibly caused by seismic activity.
"This mission was groundbreaking,"

says SkyX Founder and Chief Executive
Officer Didi Horn. "We have proven our
solution in a rugged environment that presented network communications challenges.
Our Mexican partner was stunned not
only by our results, but by the speed and
accuracy with which we delivered them."
SkyX says the amount of data acquired
during the flight, which lasted little more
than an hour, exceeds what one person
could collect in more than a week. SkyOne provided precise coordinates for
each of the anomalies its mission identified, the company adds, enabling rapid
investigation and remediation.

SkyX Systems Corp.'s SkyOne unmanned
aerial system consists of an aircraft that
takes off like a helicopter but ﬂies like a
plane, a control room for monitoring the
mission remotely, and the company's SkyBoxes, which allow the aircraft to recharge
without returning home. The company says
these boxes reduce costs by extending
SkyOne's range.

form that will be installed in 7,400 feet
of water 80 miles south of New Orleans
in the Gulf of Mexico, Dynamic says.
The company points out that the semisubmersible is the largest FPS the client
ever has built, and is capable of producing
175,000 barrels of oil a day.
In total, the five modules weigh 3,500
tons, Dynamic continues. The company
says it has procured and fabricated all
raw materials, including 1,350 tons of
structural steel, 31,000 square feet of
fiberglass grating, 250,000 square feet of
paint and nearly five miles of piping. The
piping includes stainless steel, 9 chrome,
copper, nickel and super duplex, Dynamic
describes, adding that it prefabricated,
painted, installed and hydro-tested the
pipe spools at its facility in New Iberia.
In addition, the company says, it installed sensitive equipment, including
four 80-ton compressors and a 200-ton
steam turbine generator: the first of its
kind to be installed in the Gulf of Mexico.
The installations required precise field
machining and shimming of the equipment
mounting pads to ensure the equipment
was perfectly level for operation, Dynamic
reports.
Despite the complexity of the project,
Dynamic says, it completed the work ahead
of schedule. As a one-stop shop, the company adds that it enabled the client to
reduce overall project costs by 25 percent.
