Solution

Digital PTW System (ePTW)

Challenge

  • Needed a Trusted Digital Partner

  • Delayed reporting to the onshore team

  • Complex sub-procedures within a single framework

Due to intricate sub-procedures, the client’s regulation-compliant paper-based system needed greater efficiency and a simplified permit application process.

Bunduq sought a digital partner to transform its traditional, paper-based Permit-to-Work (PTW) system into an efficient, transparent, real-time electronic solution. The existing system was time-consuming and involved intricate sub-procedures within a single framework. Tracking permit status was challenging, as the approving authority lacked a tool to monitor ongoing permits. Additionally, referencing old permits required extensive manual searches through stacks of paper.

Bunduq needed a digital solution that offered:

  • Real-time visibility for the onshore team to monitor permit status efficiently.

  • Deployment on offshore data servers as internet connectivity could impact operational continuity.

  • User-friendly interface to minimize training requirements for permit applicants.

Solution

  • Custom-built ePTW System

  • Deployment on offshore data servers

  • Near/Real-time tracking dashboard

  • User-friendly interface

TECH EHS collaborated closely with Bunduq, conducting on-site visits to understand their unique requirements. Based on these insights, TECH EHS designed and developed a tailored Electronic Permit to Work (ePTW) system that streamlined workflows from permit application to issuance and closure.

Bunduq needed a digital solution that offered:

  • A custom-built ePTW system is designed to mirror Bunduq’s paper-based process while optimizing efficiency.

  • Deployment on Bunduq’s offshore data servers to ensure seamless operation without dependency on continuous internet connectivity.

  • A near real-time tracking dashboard enables onshore teams to monitor permit status.

  • Integration of additional work permits such as Electrical and Mechanical Isolation, Radiography, Confined Space Entry, and more.

  • User-friendly interface to reduce the learning curve and minimize training efforts for permit applicants.

  • On-site training sessions conducted by TECH EHS to ensure a smooth transition from the legacy system to the digital platform.
