Expro Enhances Rig Floor Safety With Innovative Catwalk Sensor Technology

Designed for manual rig environments, the technology is already making an impact in North Latin America — with potential to enhance safety across global land rigs where modern systems are still catching up.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expro’s (NYSE: XPRO) Frank’s Tubular Running Services (TRS) division has successfully deployed its new Catwalk Sensor technology across its United States land operations, delivering a significant leap forward in safety for land-based drilling rigs.

The Catwalk Sensor is designed to address a critical safety gap in manual rig environments. Installed on the rig’s catwalk or slingshot system, the sensor emits real-time audible alerts whenever pipe enters the V-door area. This immediate warning system serves as a proactive risk reduction technology so that all personnel on the rig floor are instantly aware of potential hazards enabling swift, proactive responses.

“This is an effective and powerful solution,” said Jeremy Angelle, VP of Well Construction of Expro. “Even on the most basic rig floors, the Catwalk Sensor helps create a safer environment by alerting crews to pipe movement before an incident can occur.”

Expro’s Catwalk Sensor is a standalone system that has been designed for easy installation and maintenance, which is intended for all rigs utilizing catwalk or slingshot type pipe handling systems.

Jeremy Angelle added: “This initiative reflects Expro’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence and stakeholder value, and more importantly, to the safety of its crews and partners around the world.”
