The UAE-based offshore construction and fabrication specialist Lamprel l has selected Pemamek to provide welding production automation solutions for the manufacturing of transition pieces and monopiles.
The agreement between Lamprell and Pemamek includes PEMA welding, milling, and material handling solutions to manufacture transition pieces and monopiles.
The order from Lamprell consists of several different applications to produce cylindrical and conical offshore renewables products on the company’s fabrication lines.
Deliveries will be carried out in phases and most of the applications will be installed at Lamprell’s yard in Hamriyah later this year.
Under the agreement, Pemamek will also provide services such as supervision for installation, commissioning, training, extended warranty with maintenance agreements, and production support.
According to Lamprell, the company is continuing with investments in its production facilities due to the increasing demands on capacity in the offshore renewable sector.
The company’s yard upgrade program includes the construction of a “state-of-the-art” offshore renewables production line, which is expected to improve the manufacturing of jacket components, transition pieces, and monopiles.
Lamprell recently announced that the company signed a capacity reservation agreement with Ocean Winds, a joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, for the Moray West offshore wind farm project in Scotland.
The reservation agreement secured capacity in Lamprell’s Hamriyah yard for the supply of 62 transition pieces, including 60 wind turbine transition pieces and two transition pieces for the two offshore substations, as well as for the shipping of the 62 transition pieces to a marshalling harbour in the UK.
