During the recent Open day held at QA Weld Tech’s new offices in Bowes Road a surprise visitor was Saskia Macfarlane, Purchasing Manager of Heerema Marine Contractors Nederland BV, who had been tasked with presenting the Company with an Award Plaque of Excellence to show appreciation for the commitment and work performed on the Block 31 PSVM Project.
Block 31 is BP’s ultra deep water development off the coast of Angola. QA Weld Tech’s part in the project involved the supply of WeldLinks, J-lay collars, interface spools and transition pieces to Heerema who were contracted to fabricate 44 sub-sea structures to enable extraction of oil in water depths of over 2000m.
