The company – which has offices in Aberdeen and Invergordon – was involved in the specialist cleaning of pressure vessels, associated pipe work and LSA waste processing during a shutdown period on the BG-operated Armada platform.
The contract – worth £1.2 million – took five months to complete after planning commenced in March, with work on the Armada being completed on August 8.
The project marked the first time MSIS’ innovative Vacuum Transfer System (VTS) had been used for this type of work, previously having been implemented for general rig clean up and slop tank cleaning. Louise Green, the company’s business development manager, is hopeful the successful completion of this project will lead to similar contracts being secured in the future.
She said: “Prior to this contract, our VTS had never been used in this way and so we are delighted the project was such a success. Its completion heralds an exciting time for MSIS as we now have another quality service to offer our clients and this latest development will greatly assist in the continued growth of the company.”
Donald MacLeod, deputy campaign manager at AMEC, added: “We were extremely satisfied and indeed very impressed with the service delivered by MSIS. We appreciated the challenges that would be encountered in attempting to clean the pressure vessels and pipe work but the system proved its capability and reliability in completing the work so successfully and we will have no hesitation in using the system for future projects.”
Working in a variety of sectors, MSIS undertakes waste management, high pressure jetting, CCTV surveys, LSA decontamination, vacuum tanker hire, specialist coatings, oil spill response services, environmental management services and vacuum transfer systems.
