Rotech Subsea has secured two major scopes of work in the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia worth over $1 million.
The first offshore Saudi contract for the Aberdeen-based subsea excavation contractor, a cable post-trenching scope, saw its TRS1-LD tool mobilized within days and collected from Rotech’s fabrication yard by the client.
Rotech Subsea has also clinched a 42 inch pipeline post-trenching and remedial gig in Saudi Arabia with its TRS2 tool shipped alongside the TRS1-LD.
In response to high demand for Rotech’s subsea excavation tools in the region, and a series of major contract awards, the company has accelerated plans to set up a permanent base in the Middle East that will see its TRS1, TRS1-LD, and TRS2 tools kept in-region.
“ Demand for our range of cutting edge Controlled Flow Excavation (CFE) tools in the Middle East was strong last financial year and shows no sign of abating, ” said Rotech’s director of Subsea, Stephen Cochrane . “We’ve been inundated with enquiries for our tools, including our TRS1-LD system for shallow water projects – which is the most powerful tool on the market – and anticipate busy times ahead in the region. To meet the demand we have accelerated our plans to set up a permanent base there.”
