You cannot afford a gas detector that misses a leak, a fire alarm that fails to trip the right shutdown, or a radio that drops on a remote platform. On an oil and gas site, those are not faults to log later, they are safety events. You need the ICT, fire and gas detection, security, building management and public address systems behind your facility designed, integrated, certified and supported as one, so your operations team is never the one that finds the gap. Yakkaservices delivers them under a single contract, built to NFPA 72 (2022) and hazardous-area code.
Yakkaservices integrates the facility systems behind an oil and gas site. Here is where that work fits, and where it does not.
When your site needs several facility systems together: communications, fire and gas detection, security, building management and public address, designed, integrated and certified as one, with a single team accountable for how they work as a whole.
If you need to replace a single item, one gas detector loop, one camera run, a single fire panel, a focused specialist contractor will often do it faster. That is the right call, and we will tell you so.
If you are buying the DCS, SCADA, or the safety instrumented system tied to your process variables, that is process control engineering. You want a process automation vendor for that layer. We design the facility safety, security and infrastructure systems those controls run alongside, not the process control itself.
An oil and gas facility runs continuously, and an unplanned shutdown is expensive and can be hazardous in itself. Your safety, communication and monitoring systems have to keep working through a power dip, a network fault and the next shift change. When one fails quietly, the people who find out are the operators in the field, at the worst possible moment. Maintenance and upgrades happen around a live process, under a permit to work, not during a convenient closure.
Parts of your site are classified as explosive atmospheres, where a single spark is an ignition source. In those zones every camera, detector, speaker and junction box has to be certified for the hazard, to IEC 60079 and the ATEX or local equivalent. A standard enclosure that is fine in an office is a liability at a wellhead or a tank farm. Area classification decides what equipment is even allowed, before anyone discusses performance.
In most buildings a fault is an inconvenience. On an oil and gas site, a system that fails has to fail to a safe state, not sit silent. Fire and gas detection has to trip the right shutdown, close the right valve and alert the right people in the right order, every time. That behaviour is engineered to a functional safety standard, IEC 61511, and proven at commissioning, not assumed.
Every safety and operations system on your site depends on the same physical infrastructure. We design, integrate and certify these six so they work as one, not just side by side.
Every system on your site, from detectors to CCTV to the control room, rides the same network. We design and certify the structured cabling and fiber backbone to TIA-568-D (2018) and ISO/IEC 11801:2017, with the resilient links, radio and leaky-feeder coverage that keep a remote pad or offshore platform in contact when a path fails.
ICT infrastructureFlame and gas detectors are the first warning of a release or fire, so they have to see the hazard and act on it. We design addressable fire and gas detection that trips the right emergency shutdown, closes valves and sounds the alarm in sequence, to NFPA 72 (2022), EN 54 and API RP 14C, with hazardous-area certified devices throughout.
Fire and life safety systemsA pipeline corridor, a tank farm or a remote wellhead has a long, exposed boundary. We design perimeter intrusion detection, thermal cameras and fence sensors so an approach is seen early and assessed before it reaches a live asset, with detection logic tuned to cut false alarms in open terrain.
ELV systemsProcess areas, control rooms and the explosives store each need a different rule about who gets through the door. Access control and CCTV let you set those rules by zone, role and time, with Ex-rated cameras in classified areas and an audit trail you can produce for an HSE review.
ELV systemsControl rooms, substations and equipment shelters have to stay within temperature and pressure limits, and your utilities have to be watched continuously. The building management system holds those conditions and shows power, HVAC and tank or utility status on one dashboard, built on BACnet, Modbus and OPC so it talks to the equipment you already run.
Building management systemWhen an alarm sounds, every person on site has to hear a clear instruction and know where to muster. We integrate public address and general alarm (PAGA) so a fire or gas event overrides routine paging with an intelligible message by zone, with control-room video walls and AV in the same scope.
AV solutionsFour failures that show up at commissioning or after handover. Each one is preventable at design stage.
The fire panel passes on its own, the gas detection passes on its own, and nobody runs them against the shutdown logic until commissioning, or worse, until a real event. On a hazardous site that means a confirmed release that does not trip the action it should, or a spurious trip that shuts a plant down for nothing. We have been called to sites where a detector alarmed but the valve it was meant to close never moved.
A real release that does not trip its shutdown, or a costly spurious trip that stops production.
A written cause-and-effect matrix agreed early, then a full integrated test of detection, shutdown and alarm before commissioning sign-off, not during it.
A camera, detector or junction box gets installed in a classified area without the right hazardous-area certification, or a certificate quietly lapses. In an explosive atmosphere that device is no longer protection, it is a potential ignition source. The gap usually surfaces at an HSE audit, after the equipment has been live for months.
A device that becomes an ignition source, and an area that fails its hazardous-area audit.
Area classification drawings drive an equipment register, every device certified to IEC 60079 for its zone and verified at install, with the certificates in the handover pack.
A remote wellpad, pipeline station or platform is connected by one link with no second path, because redundancy looked like an avoidable cost at design stage. The day a fault takes that link down is the day an operator in the field loses contact during the incident that needs it most. Coverage that was assumed on a drawing turns out to have dead spots in the open.
An operator or asset cut off from the control room during an incident.
Redundant communication paths designed in, coverage surveyed and proven on site, and failover tested, before the asset goes live.
Cutting over a network or running new cable through a live process area without a phasing plan creates two bad options, an unplanned shutdown or hot work next to running plant. Either one is a safety and production problem your operations team did not budget for. The work has to fit the plant, not the other way round.
An unplanned production shutdown, or hot work alongside a live process.
A phased plan agreed with operations, tied to a turnaround window where possible, with permit-to-work, isolation and a tested fallback built into the method statement.
On an oil and gas site, the systems are only as good as the points where they meet. A detector is only useful if it trips the shutdown, and an alarm is only useful if everyone hears it and knows where to go. None of that happens by accident. It happens because the interfaces were drawn at design stage and proven before handover.
When one team designs and commissions all of it under a single contract, those interfaces are one team's responsibility. When each system is a separate contract, the gaps between them belong to no one, until the day they have to work together.
Compliance is easier to judge when you can see it by system. Here is what each system we deliver is designed, tested and approved against, for oil and gas projects in India, the UAE and Oman.
Structured cabling, fiber and the radio backbone that carries every safety and operations system, designed for resilience across a spread-out site.
Across all of them, you receive the evidence at handover: test certificates, the fire and gas cause-and-effect matrix, hazardous-area equipment certificates, and as-built drawings.
