We know how to help you get the most out of your platforms and topsides, optimising performance and extending asset life. With the help of Scottish companies, you can have your platforms and topsides running more efficiently and reliably than ever before.

Inspection

Our efforts in inspection are focused on efficiency and reliability.

They are driven by technological solutions that cut down on the manpower and time needed to conduct routine and unplanned inspection operations.

Livingston-based Cyberhawk was the first company to deploy unmanned drones for the purposes of inspection in the North Sea. The innovative drones and iHawk software suite provide end-to-end solutions for oil and gas producers. Results showed this technique proved 20 times more efficient than traditional inspection methods, and was half the cost of traditional inspection methods.

Repair

Our repair expertise lies in the high quality and precision engineering that our companies provide.

Highly regarded Scottish companies, such as the Weir Group, the Wood Group and the Global Energy Group, lead the way and operate in every corner of the globe.

Its sector-leading services are specifically designed for the demands of 21st century oil and gas production. The Group is also one of the largest producers of bespoke fabrication products to a number of markets. They are also experts in upgrading and refurbishing topside equipment.
