This document discusses the design of a drilling rig with an emphasis on safety. It outlines several key points: 1) The machines should be designed to help people work safely in a safe environment, and safety should be the top priority. 2) Teamwork ensures safety for all, and one should anticipate dangers, protect oneself and others, and follow safety warnings. 3) The environment is key to mankind's survival, so pollution and greenhouse gases must be reduced through practices like reducing, reusing and recycling. 4) A drilling rig design should meet customer requirements through features like ease of use, meeting regulations, optimal costs, durability, and maintainability. Hydraulic components like pumps, motors

1. SAFETY FIRST….
THE MACHINES WE DESIGN SHOULD
HELP PEOPLE TO LIVE HAPPILY….
MOST OF THE HAPPINESS LIES IN
WORKING SAFELY, IN A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT….CREATE AND
FOLLOW SAFETY AROUND YOU….

2. LET’S WORK AS A TEAM….
• TEAM WORK ENSURES SAFETY FOR ALL….

3. ….BE PRO-ACTIVE and EXPECT
(ANTICIPATE) DANGER IN EVERY
SITUATION….IMAGINE AS IF THE SKY
COULD FALL ON YOU….PROTECT
YOURSELF and ALL OTHERS….

4. LET’S PROTECT ENVIRONMENT….
• GOOD ENVIRONMENT IS KEY TO MANKIND
SURVIVAL.
• AS PER ONE STATEMENT, TOTAL MANKIND ON
EARTH WILL PERISH, ONLY AFTER THREE
YEARS OF EXTINCTION OF BEES.
• WE NEED TO SUPPRESS POLLUTION and
GREEN-HOUSE GASES, etc…

5. FEW ENVIRONMENT HAZARDS, WE MUST
STOP or REDUCE…
• OIL SPILLAGES, WATER and SOIL POLLUTION
WITH INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, WASTING
ENERGY, OVER CONSUMPTION, WASTING
FOOD, etc… MUST BE STOPPED…
• INDESCRIMINATE USE OF PLASTICS , PAINTS,
etc…CUTTING OF TREES, INDESCRIMINATE
MINING, etc… MUST BE STOPEED….
• “3R” s…”REDUCE, RE-USE, and RECYCLE”,
should be followed, by all.

6. SAVE ENVIRONMENT, SAVE
EARTH…

7. The “3R”, s…
• The “3R” s are, REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE,
should be followed by all of us….
• SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT IS THE GREATEST
GIFT, WE TRANSFER TO OUR FUTURE
GENERATIONS….

To meet customer requirements….

13. FORMATION OF THE IDEA…
• The CEO or Chairperson of a firm
Designs and Markets a product to
satisfy his needs.
• His / Her needs can be
Psychological, Social, Financial,
and many more…
• First sell the product then design.

14. DESIGN OF A PRODUCT
Whatever Design, Creation, or
Idea of a Product or Service
should satisfy the customer
requirements.
Whatever design we do must
be competitive also.

15. PRODUCT DESIGN Contd…
• When customer is satisfied he
can come with us for a long
distance.

16. BASIC DESIGN OF A DRILL RIG
• The drill rig can include following features.
I). Right type of Kinematics to Perform different
functions, the customer needs.
• When we call “RIGHT TYPE” it should satisfy
many requirements. Such as,
A). Ease and Safe to operate…
B). To meet statutory requirements of the
situation (Mine laws, Environmental
regulations, etc…)

17. SAFETY WARNINGS

18. A Simple & Compact Drill Rig…

19. Continuation….
Basic Design of a Drill Rig…
C). Optimum cost (To be decided in discussion
with customer)…
D). Compactness (Space is more than money in
some situations)…
E). Durability (Sufficient strength and Resistance
to environment and surrounding conditions)
F). Ease of Maintenance…
G). Light in weight and high in Elegance, etc…

20. Continuation….
Basic Design of Drill Rig…
II). Right type of Hydraulics. The hydraulic
logics are equally important as Mechanical
Logics. Gone are the days of simple pumps,
valves and motors.
Present day pumps are load sensing- variable
displacement types, with various logical
controls to suit the requirements.
The cartridge valves and Manifold Blocks are
used to prop-up the actuator control logics.

DRILL RIG…

24. Hydraulic Motors & Cylinders…
The present day hydraulic motors can
operate at high pressures and deliver
high speeds and torques.
Bent axis variable displacement motors
are of infinitely variable speeds and
torques.
Many hydraulic cylinders come with in
built counter-balance cartridge valves for
better safety.

27. HYDRAULICS CONTD…
PRESENT DAY HYDRAULIC HOSES ARE MUCH
MORE FLEXIBLE AND CAN HANDLE HIGHER
PRESSURES THAN OLDER TYPES.
CONTROL LEVERS ARE MORE SOPHISTICATED, JOY
STICK TYPES IN MANY CASES.
DIGITAL GAUGES ARE REPLACING OLDER AND
LESS ACCURATE ANALOGUE TYPE GAUGES OF THE
PAST.
ADVANCED CIRCUITS WITH CARTDRIDGE
MANIFOLDS ARE BECOMING VERY POPULAR.

28. STATUTORY and SAFETY
requirements…
As with technology advances, the legal and
safety standards are also higher than in the
past.
The “ Falling Object Protection System
(FOPS)” at control panel protects the drill-rig
operator.
The “Safety Decals” and their placement is
made compulsory by some legal terms.

29. Statutory requirements Contd…
Pollution and effluent emissions should
be within the legal limits.
The Drill-rig and accessories we design
should meet the environmental norms.
Such as the paints we use should be safe
to environment.
Oils and Lubricants we recommend
should be safe to environment and
degradable.

30. AESTHETICS
• The shape and external appearance of a
rig should be attractive to sight.
• The paints to be used should be not only
protect the machine from corrosion but
also should meet the customers visual
taste.
• Such external appearance requirements
can be decided in discussion with
customer.

31. TIME FRAME
One should not take too much
time to design a product, at
the same time he should not
be too hasty.
Time frame should be decided
in discussion with customer.

32. • A designer should develop right vendor
to optimize cost and quality of the rig…
• Recruit right personnel and train them…
• He should develop right processes and
procedures to manufacture the product.
• Develop other infrastructure as per
requirement of the product and
situation.

YOUR
ATTENTION…
