Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) has awarded Ardmore Craig with a contract for the design of a carousel and associated spooling spread destined for cable storage activities.
The order has been earmarked by a utility company for 40-year storage of a number of spare cable lengths.
The carousel will be designed for capacities in excess of 1,500 tonnes and is the second upgradeable unit which Ardmore Craig has worked on with ESS.
ESS Managing Director Mike Wilson said: “We have a long running and mutually beneficial working relationship with Ardmore Craig with its team supporting our project engineering and operational activities. This latest carousel contract demonstrates how companies within the supply chain can work together to offer leading blue chip businesses safe, simple and robust engineering solutions.”
The latest award follows on from Ardmore Craig’s 150th contract and a busy summer supporting renewable projects around Europe.
