Engineering and maintenance contractor Bilfinger UK has secured what it says is a major contract to deliver fabric maintenance campaign services on TotalEnergies’ Elgin and Franklin platforms located in the UK Central North Sea.
Bilfinger UK informed late last week that the contract would support a 270-day campaign on these installations and would start in March 2022, creating 300 fixed-term positions . Bilfinger will provide fabric maintenance, scaffolding, and rope access personnel.
Aberdeen-based Bilfinger Salamis UK now trades under the new Bilfinger UK brand following its merger with Warrington-based Bilfinger UK , effective from 1 January 2022. The merger created one of the UK’s largest integrated services contractors, with 4,500 employees during peak periods and 14 onshore locations across the UK’s key industrial hubs.
The company’s latest contract win follows it starting a five-year inspection contract for TotalEnergies’ Danish North Sea assets in July 2021. The contract also included two one-year extension options.
Mike Henderson , business development and commercial director at Bilfinger UK, said: “We’ve supported TotalEnergies to operate and maintain its North Sea assets for more than a decade.
“This new contract win is testament to the strong relationship we’ve built with the operator’s team over this period, and to the skills and expertise within Bilfinger for successfully delivering critical offshore projects.”
