Rig repair investment

Engineering company PD&MS Energy and fabrication and engineering firm Harlen Fabrication are set to invest £2.5m into a new rig repair and subsea fabrication facility in a Scottish port.

The 38,750ft² facility on Princess Alexandra Wharf at the Port of Dundee is expected to house up to 50 full time personnel, which could rise to as many as 260 during specific projects.

According to PD&MS Energy, approximately £8m of offshore asset servicing work is expected to be handled at the site during its first financial year in operation.

The facility was earlier based in neighbouring Prince Charles Wharf and is said to be optimised for rig repair and upgrades, vessel repair and mobilisations, fabrications and general work across other energy sectors.

The companies have made an initial £1m investment in the workshop and plan to invest a further £1.5m over the next three years.
