CAN Group, has been awarded a £4 million contract to provide asset integrity services in the North Sea as the firm also announces international growth.
The Aberdeen-headquartered company has secured work with Fairfield Energy aboard the Dunlin platform.
The three-year contract with Fairfield will be led by ENGTEQ, the group’s integrity engineering business stream, that will provide services such as inspection management and data analysis with CAN’s operations division providing inspection execution and ancillary services on the pressure systems and structures in support of the asset integrity programme.
CAN has also secured scopes in North Africa. The work covers the provision of specialist inspection services and integrity engineering support and will see CAN carry out a variety of structural inspection services including flare and jacket structure inspections and a comprehensive range of advanced NDT inspection techniques at pressure plants on and offshore.
Adam Byrne, operations director at CAN Group, said: “We have enjoyed a sustained period of demand in the North Sea and, as part of our strategic growth plans, we are increasingly rolling out our services across other geographic markets. The internationalisation of our business has seen CAN move into West Africa, Asia Pacific and North America and we are well placed to make the most of these opportunities.”
Formed in 1986, when it pioneered industrial rope access techniques offshore, CAN Group is now a diversified operation, with four business streams: ENGTEQ, VENTEQ and their inspection and trades businesses which trade under the CAN name. Together these businesses provide a comprehensive asset integrity service, with ENGTEQ providing the integrity engineering services, and the quality assurance and quality control services from VENTEQ.
