ADNOC and its operating companies (ADNOC Onshore, ADNOC Refining, ADNOC Sour Gas and others) run some of the most disciplined supplier-qualification programmes in the region. Equipment rental into an ADNOC site is not a transactional supply — it is a documented operation.
What we send ahead of mobilisation
- ADNOC supplier registration confirmation (we are pre-registered)
- Equipment-specific risk assessment and method statement (RA&MS), site-scoped
- Lift plan where applicable, signed by a competent person
- Operator competency dossier — TPC certificate, OEM training record, medical certificate, valid driving licence
- Third-party inspection certificate for the asset (lifting gear, hydraulics, structural)
- Insurance certificate (public liability, plant, motor)
- JSA and toolbox-talk template that the asset will be inducted under
What travels with the operator
- Operator manual and emergency-contact card
- PPE: hi-vis to EN ISO 20471 Class 2/3 (as specified), gas-monitor where required
- Operator copy of the RA&MS
- Pre-start checklist book
- Site-access pass (issued by the operating company; we provide the documentation that releases it)
Most mobilisations stall on one of three things: a missing TPC certificate, an out-of-date third-party inspection, or a method statement that doesn't mention the operating company's specific control measures.
Where most mobilisations stall
In our experience the same three issues account for the majority of mobilisation delays on ADNOC sites:
- 01TPC operator certificate expired or not yet renewed — fix is to verify the certificate window the day before mobilisation, not on the day.
- 02Third-party inspection certificate older than the operating company's grace window. Most operators want a sub-12-month TPE on lifting equipment; some want sub-6.
- 03Method statement written generically rather than referencing the operating company's permit-to-work system, isolations and control measures. The RA&MS has to be site-scoped, not copy-pasted.
On Strong Plant operated hire into ADNOC sites these are checked, refreshed and signed off before mobilisation as standard. There is no day-of-arrival surprise.
