Van Oord’s award-winning reclamation pipe gasket redesign
Sometimes a small improvement can have a huge impact. Van Oord’s new reclamation pipe gasket design significantly reduces the risk of potential finger injuries with an easy to implement and cost-effective solution. The design was chosen as the winner of IADC’s Safety Award 2025.

Submissions for the IADC Safety Award 2025

For this year's Safety Award, IADC's Safety Committee received 14 submissions. Each one is assessed on five different categories; sustainability; level of impact on the industry; simplicity in use; effectiveness; and level of innovation.
