Overview
Cape supports the Asia
Pacific Rim offshore
industry with a wealth of
world-class services
Cape’s presence in the Far East / Pacific Rim is uniquely placed to
meet and exceed the demands of the growing offshore industry.
Our ability to provide large numbers of multi-skilled teams to
undertake a multitude of complex tasks is paramount to our
successful operations.
Cape seeks to strengthen partnering relationships with its clients
through a dual commitment of improving lead times and uptime,
while minimising downtime and overall project costs. We do this by
delivering up to 56 separate services to the offshore sector under
one contract and thus reducing the client’s management and
interface costs by a significant margin.
Adopting bespoke commercial arrangements reinforce Cape’s
commitment to deliver efficient and intelligent solutions at every
opportunity. We continue to work with our clients to provide
enhanced value through innovation and proficiency improvements.
At the same time, we are setting new international standards for
safety, welfare and quality management.
Cape Asia Pacific Rim Offshore has been involved in many of the
region’s major offshore projects including two present principal
maintenance contracts with ConocoPhillips Bayu-Undan in
the Timor Sea and the Shell Malampaya platform in the South
China Sea. Through programmes of multi-task training, Cape
has enhanced the skill level of the workforce on these platforms,
increasing productivity and bringing tangible benefits to the
projects.
Cape is one of the world’s
leading providers of
essential non-mechanical
industrial services

Multi-disciplinary
Cape provides a multidiscipline, “bundled
services” solution with a
single point of contact
and management
responsibility for an
increasing array of
complimentary multidisciplinary services
Multi-disciplinary
By taking charge of a wide range of essential
offshore services, Cape ensures even better
safety and efficiency performance, which
means our clients don’t have to source separate
contractors. Today, Cape is recognised for
its scale and scope, making us the most costeffective provider of ‘turn-key’ solutions for major
construction, maintenance turnaround and
shutdown projects offshore.
Cape takes an intelligent approach to multi-disciplinary contracts. By working in
partnership with our clients, we analyse the task in hand and allocate the relevant
multi-skilled operatives to ensure cost and efficiency savings can be made without
compromising on quality and safety. Our clients are always assured of a highly trained,
efficient and integrated workforce that is tailored to their individual requirements and
quality controlled by Cape. Back up is provided by our tried and tested management
systems, so if an unforeseen demand does arise, the scale of our labour resource
coupled with our technical capability means that we can mobilise extra manpower and
equipment to ensure the job is completed on time.

Cape Marine and Offshore Division
The extensive expertise of our Cape Marine and Offshore
Division spans the full spectrum of environmentally-compliant
UHP water jetting, abrasive blasting, containment, surface
preparation, and coating application services.
Painting, coating and blasting
Other surface preparation services
Cape’s track record is largely derived from working in
some of the most hostile environments on earth. This
experience means Cape thoroughly understands what it
takes to successfully deliver solutions for the huge range
of surface preparation and coating requirements that arise
in shipyards, fabrication facilities, LNG plants and offshore
oil and gas facilities. Our experts evaluate every brief on a

Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting
Hazardous area equipment
Cape uses revolutionary NLB surface preparation robots
to quickly, safely and cleanly remove old coatings from
the substrate surface via vacuum and travels as directed
by a UHP Technician via remote control. The SRT10W
is environmentally-friendly, collecting 100% of the
used water, removed coatings and rust. The coatings
and used water are captured in a recovery vessel and
disposed of IAW with local government regulations.
Finished surfaces are left dry and immediately ready
for coatings application. We also offer the open lance
method of water blasting via a hand held water jetting
lance which is directed at the substrate. This method of
water blasting may require some type of containment
or barrier to collect and recover the resultant debris and
water for disposal.

Chemical cleaning
Cape’s highly experienced qualified chemists,
chemical engineers, project managers
and trained operatives solve issues and
deliver customised chemical cleaning and
decontamination services, particularly to the oil,
gas and power generation industries. We use a
wide range of cleaning agents and chemicals,
including our own proprietary formulations.
Heat exchangers – PCHE cleaning
We can descale heat exchangers and associated pipework
utilising specialist chemical formulations designed for the
offshore sector. The removal of hydrocarbon or scale fouling
to regain full operational efficiency by means of chemical
circulation, sometimes at temperature, has proven very
successful. The circulation pumps are easily connected to the
exchangers, thus little preparation or dismantling is required.
Decontamination
We offer liquid phase decontamination, using proprietary
chemicals to remove organics from inside pipes, vessels and
exchangers. Our chemical technologies separate contaminants
from solids and water to reduce, and in some cases eliminate
entirely, third-party waste disposal charges cost effectively.
High air flow vacuum services
Cape offers comprehensive high air flow vacuum
services for offshore operations on critical path
shutdowns and day-to-day cleaning operations.
We have a large workforce, experienced at
managing tasks effectively and efficiently,
using the best equipment and techniques in the
industry.
Online de-sanding
SyphonVac avoids having to shutdown simply to remove
solids from a separator vessel, thus enhancing revenues and
profitability. Typically we use SyphonVac to remove sand
while the vessel is in full production, cutting deferral costs and
reducing the cleaning operation of a critical path shutdown. It
also reduces sand carry over to process systems. SyphonVac
is compact, for use in offshore locations, and reduces the risk of
manpower needing to enter confined spaces.
Offline vessel cleaning
SludgeVac offers rapid degassing of vessels, and can remove all
solids and liquids in less time than it takes to prepare vessels for
man entry cleaning - transferring up to 10 tonnes an hour. The
considerable time-savings can either increase the amount of
work possible during a shutdown, or can reduce the shutdown
times significantly.
Industrial cleaning
offshore
Cape provides
leading innovative
industrial cleaning
and decontamination
services for process
pipework, tanks and
vessels
Process pipework
From a single access point, Aquadril
can clean up to 300m of pipework,
including directional changes and
vertical sections, without the need
for dismantling. It removes scale and
debris using high-pressure water
jetting, reducing downtime and overall
job costs, and is suitable for all pipe
diameters and most pipe materials.
The system can also completely
contain hazardous waste. Cape’s
Supergun system is suitable for nonproduction pipework cleaning and
descaling online.
Pressure vessels and tanks
Removing product, by-product or
corrosion can result in maximised
capacity, increased throughput and
better production levels, and therefore
greater cost-effectiveness. We
can offer unrivalled experience and
expertise in tank and vessel cleaning.
Environmentally-safe internal
caisson cleaning
Our environmentally-safe caisson
cleaning system, Torpedo, can
operate below water level to remove
all scale and marine growth from
the caisson interior and bring it to
deck level for disposal. This prevents
environmental contamination of the
seabed or debris being sucked into
the lift pumps on adjacent caissons.
FPSO cargo tank cleaning
Using efficient high-head lift pumping
equipment, and low and highpressure water jetting, we can clean
cargo tanks and slop oil tanks quickly
and safely before inspection and
repair operations.
Cold cutting
We use a combination of highpressure water with abrasive garnet
to create a powerful tool for the
cold cutting of steel, concrete and
other composite materials. With
no significant heat generation, this
is a safe, effective and convenient
alternative to hot cutting, ideal for
cutting operations in potentially
hazardous locations alongside live
plant.

Training
With two regional training
hubs located in the Far
East and Australia, Cape
conducts training in line
with robust international
standards
Cape are proud to have the most substantial and
highly-trained resources in the industry.
We believe this is critical to our ability to continually provide safe, reliable and intelligent
solutions across a wide range of industrial sectors.
Setting the standards in best practice
In addition to working safely and efficiently ourselves, we also play a leading role in promoting
best practice, by sharing our knowledge with other organisations.
We do this through our CapeSkills training and development centres based in Kwinana,
Western Australia and Manila, Philippines. Our Registered Training Organisation (RTO) allows us to deliver nationally recognised and accredited customised training programs to
our industry clients, in turn maintaining a competitive edge by developing a highly skilled and
safe workforce.
Cape professionals are qualified to provide competency assessment in all of these fields:
•Scaffolding
•Working at heights
•Digging
•Rigging
•Elevating work platforms
•Forklift operations
•Overhead crane
•Safety awareness training (white card)
•IRATA rope access
•Asbestos removal, management and awareness
•Restricted asbestos licenses
Skills training and assessment
As well as being cost-effective, Cape’s training and assessment services help to create a
multi-skilled workforce, which means increased job flexibility and a more resourceful and
efficient operation.
18 Asia Pacific Rim Offshore Safety
Safe isn’t just a word at
Cape, it is a way of life
Our culture of continually improving safety means we
are constantly innovating: seeking better, safer ways to
accomplish every task, and working steadily towards
the ultimate goal of a totally incident and injury free
workplace.
The result is an exemplary safety record, with a 50% reduction in reportable accidents being
achieved over the last five years across the Cape Group.
All of our Supervisors and Managers undertake regular Leadership Behavioural Safety (which
we call Job Freeze) training to ensure that not only can they identify potential hazards to their
teams, but they can also offer effective leadership and guidance with regard to how these
hazards are controlled.
Everyone who joins Cape also undergoes comprehensive and compulsory health, safety and
environmental training, during their induction to the company, and on a regular basis after that.
So when you choose Cape to provide industrial services, you can rest assured that our people
care about safety just as much as yours do.
There’s safe, and then there’s CapeSafe
This has been further enhanced through the introduction of our CapeSafe campaign, which
promotes best working practices in everything we do.
By coordinating our safety training under the dedicated ‘CapeSafe’ brand, we aim to ensure
that all our people in 28 countries are working to the same set of international standards.
CapeSafe is based around eight “Golden Rules” that are designed both to protect the health
and safety of our employees and the communities where we work. The CapeSafe campaign
in also promotes the message of “work safe, home safe”, which reinforces our shared
commitment to sending everyone who works here home safely at the end of every working day.
Cape complies with the highest safety standards
Our operations are accredited to internationally recognised management standards by SGS
(UK) Ltd. Cape is currently accredited to the Quality Management Standard, ISO 9001:2008
and the International Health and Safety Management System, OHSAS 18001:2007.
