POLYSPEC® CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC. PROJECT PROFILE -
TRANSOCEAN DISCOVERER SPIRIT
 |
After successfully completing flooring & living quarters
upgrades on several Transocean rigs, Polyspec Construction
Services was again selected by Transocean to perform IMO
flooring repairs on Discoverer Spirit. |
 |
- Project size: 4,500 SF
- Project specs: remove and replace several types of existing
floor coverings and underlayment that failed due to
moisture intrusion, heavy traffic and maintenance issues
- Existing floor finishes: ceramic tile, vinyl and carpet
- Areas upgraded: male and female change rooms, ET
and electrical shops, aft common office, conference room,
and bathroom
|
Key Considerations for the project included the following:
Maintenance/Safety: Transocean chose to upgrade to a
flooring system that provided a longer life span, required less
maintenance, and prevented corrosion and bacterial growth.
IMO Approvals: The new flooring system needed to be IMO
and U.S. Coast Guard approved.
Project Timeline: This project needed to be completed while
the drillship was being towed from its current location in the
Gulf of Mexico to its new location in West Africa.
Construction Management: Transocean preferred a turnkey
upgrade service for the complete removal and installation of
flooring in the specified areas.
Marine Decking Products Used:

IMO Approved Epoxy Underlayment
