Wirth multi/two-gear drawworks – intelligent redundant PLC controlled system incorporating

two independent disc brake systems to achieve maximum
braking systems safety. In the event of a reduction or loss of braking force
of the master brake, the second brake system will engage
accordingly to compensate for the loss. Thus permitting full

predetermined positions.
Secondary active braking system:

The second braking system is an eddy current brake, which
is a dynamic electromagnetic braking device. This brake is a
high energy absorption device thus maintaining appropriate
braking torque at higher drawworks speeds. Under low-
speed or no speed conditions the eddy current brake
can only produce low or no braking torque. Under these
conditions the regenerative brake takes on most of the
load. The eddy current braking energy is dissipated by water
cooling.
Emergency and parking brake system:

The disc brake represents the third braking system and is
used for emergency braking and parking only. The disc brake
and the associated callipers are kept open by a hydraulic
system thereby providing a fail-safe mechanism. In case of an
emergency such as loss of power, hydraulic failure or system
failures of the drives, all callipers will be applied.
Under normal operation conditions the callipers are only

applied for parking, holding the load in a static condition and
thus preventing its unintentional lowering or raising.

The KTB project near Windischeschenbach, Germany is the most significant

geological research project to date. The world’s largest onshore drilling rig was
equipped with 12 900 hp and a total weight of approx. 2 500 tons. For this project
Aker Solutions delivered the world’s first gear-driven drawworks that was equipped
with 4Q drive and delivered 4 500 hp. The drilling depth of 9 101 m was limited by
extremely high rock temperatures.
KCA Deutag’s T 208 rig is designed to meet Europe’s demanding environmental

standards. The T 208 has a 1 500 hp rating for drilling depth up to 5 000 m. The
rig’s modular design makes moving locations easy because of its box-on-box
substructure. In 2006 Aker Solutions delivered oilfield drilling equipment such as
Wirth belt-driven 1 600 hp mud pumps, and Wirth gear-driven drawworks 1 500 hp
(ATEX certified).
The two new SAIPEM 3000 hp land rigs 5946 and 5947 operate in Kazakhstan
