How To Prevent Rotary Drilling RIGS From Catching Fire in The Hot Summer

In the scorching summer heat, rotary drilling RIGS that operate for long periods of time are exposed to fire hazards. Once a fire breaks out, it will not only cause damage to the equipment but also potentially endanger the safety of construction workers. To ensure construction safety, the following six aspects can be taken into account to prevent fires in rotary drilling RIGS.

1.Strengthen the inspection of the oil circuit: High temperatures can accelerate the aging of rubber components in the oil circuit. Regularly check if the oil pipes have cracks or leaks, and replace the aged oil pipes in time to prevent fuel leakage from causing fires due to high temperatures.

2. Clean flammable materials: Promptly remove oil stains, debris and other flammable materials adhering to the engine, radiator and other parts to prevent them from being ignited at high temperatures and keep the equipment clean.

3. Maintain the electrical system: Check if the wires are damaged or short-circuited, and if the joints are loose to prevent electrical circuits from generating electric sparks due to poor contact and igniting flammable materials around.

4. Control the working temperature: Arrange the working time reasonably to avoid the equipment running under overload for a long time. Regularly check the cooling system to ensure that the coolant is sufficient and the cooling fan is working properly to prevent the engine from overheating.

5. Standardize storage management: Flammable materials such as fuel and lubricating oil at the construction site should be kept away from the rotary drilling rig and stored in a cool and well-ventilated place. Strictly follow the storage regulations to reduce the risk of fire.

6. Equip with fire-fighting equipment: Install high-performance fire extinguishers beside the rotary drilling rig to ensure that construction personnel are familiar with the usage of fire extinguishers, enabling early detection and extinguishing of fires.

Conclusion: To prevent fires in rotary drilling RIGS during the hot summer, comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken from multiple aspects such as oil circuits, electricity, and temperature. By strengthening equipment inspection and maintenance, standardizing on-site management, and making emergency preparations, the probability of fire occurrence can be effectively reduced, ensuring the safe and stable operation of rotary drilling RIGS.
