Ashtead Technology to solve subsea challenges

Ashtead Technology is launching a new service to increase efficiency and drive down risk and cost in subsea and marine operations.

By applying its engineering and technical know-how to solve specific subsea challenges, Ashtead has already delivered integrated product applications to several of its clients and is currently using this approach on projects worth £6million.

This has prompted the company to establish a dedicated Engineered Measurement Solutions Group to focus exclusively on this solutions-based approach to complex applications, including attitude monitoring, vibration and stress monitoring, optical metrology, data communications, engineering data analysis and integrity management.

Ross Macleod, technical director of Ashtead Technology, who is heading up the new Engineered Measurement Solutions Group commented: «Ashtead sees a very different future within the offshore sector where cost efficiency is not just talked about, but is inherent in every project or operation. Our aim is to provide integrated solutions that reduce vessel-time and allow subsea infrastructure to be more efficiently managed through its lifecycle.»

Centered in Ashtead's global headquarters in Aberdeen, the new group will deliver global solutions across the drilling, construction, production, asset integrity and decommissioning sectors.
