What is a Geotextile Fabric?

Geotextiles are simple and permeable sheets of fabric which come in rolls and can be rolled out on the ground when a barrier is needed. These sheets are made of a special fabric that has special characteristics for your landscaping or construction needs. For example, one feature is that they help separate sections of your soil by acting as a barrier between the deeper areas and the surface (where your plants or other project arrangements are located). They can block out unwanted weeds and growth from coming to the surface and still allow drainage of excess water that you don't want in the area. The main benefits of such a fabric are that: i) your plants and landscaping won't suffer from unfair competition posed by weeds and roots, and ii) the area won't become inundated with water. It's like an additional helpful hand for your garden or construction site. Geotextile fabrics can act in this way because they are typically composed of polypropylene or polyester materials.

Entry level positions for beginners on oil rigs

Medic Usually ex-nurses, responsible for the sick bay and medical supplies. Salary: up to $70,000.

RSTC (Rig Safety and Training Coordinator) Required qualities: Good communications Good organizational skills Computer skills Knowledge of offshore safety laws Knowledge of company policies This post has a lot of responsibility, which explains the $80,000 salary for an entry level job. On the other hand, on some rigs, it can quickly become a mid or senior position - especially after a major accident, e.g. after the Alexander Kielland platform collapsed in 1980, or the explosion on Piper Alpha in 1988. Both were in the North Sea.

Mud Logger/Engineer One of the few positions needing a university degree - usually a BSc in Chemistry. Responsible for the drilling fluids used, installing equipment and collecting samples during ongoing drilling. Their most important duty is probably to monitor the level of dangerous gasses which can cause the well to blow. This is why there are always 2 mud loggers - to cover the rig 24/7. Those who do well are quickly promoted to data engineer within a 1/2-year to 2 years. Salary? $70,000 - $80,000.

Storeman Maintains the stores, orders and receives stocks. Needs to know how to use the computer. Unlike the comfortable post of an army storeman, an oil rig storeman may need to check incoming cargo even in the middle of the night. Salary: $60,000.

Painter

He paints the oil rig. This is not a job for someone afraid of heights. Some of those painting jobs need to be done while suspended from a harness hoisted by a crane. Considering how much iron and steel there is on an offshore oil rig, surrounded by all that salt water - there is always something which needs painting. Salary: $58,000.

11. Motorman

Helps the mechanic to maintain and repair all the machines, including the diesel generators and rig floor equipment. Like the painter, some of their repairs will be done suspended from a crane. Salary: $58,000.

Electrician

Maintains and repairs the electrical equipment on the oil rig. This includes changing the light bulbs. Like the painter and mechanic, some of his work will be done while hanging from a crane. Salary: $65,000.

These jobs are generally considered entry level jobs on oil rigs. The roustabout and steward only needs minimal education, and does not require any kind of trade certification. The other positions need you to show some trade skill, or need a diploma (electrician) or degree (mud engineer).
