NORTH EAST WELDING AND ENGINEERING FIRM ANNOUNCES AMBITIOUS PLANS TO ENTER NORWAY AND DENMARK OIL AND GAS MARKET
One of the UK’s leading providers of integrated welding and engineering solutions – QA Weld Tech – has announced that it is now recognized as a verified and compliant supplier on the Achilles Joint Qualification System (JQS) for the oil and gas industry in Norway and Denmark.
The Teesside based firm – which operates from nine adjacent workshops comprising over 4600sqm from the Riverside Industrial Estate, Middlesbrough – is now looking to make its mark in the Norwegian and Danish market.
And having already established a strong reputation in the oil and gas market across the globe, working on major projects including Ichthys LNG Australia, Block 31 Angola and Quad 204 West of Shetland, the company believes its solid pedigree will place it in good stead for competing for new work in these countries.
Launched in 1991, the Achilles JQS community was created to ease the procurement process in the oil and gas sector. The JQS is a supplier register and pre-qualification system used by Norwegian and Danish companies – including the likes of BP, Conoco Phillips, Statoil and Subsea 7 – to manage risk and ensure suppliers meet the industry requirements whilst having up-to-date and validated supplier information.
With over 35 years in the oil and gas industry, the company recently announced its grand plans to transfer its core capabilities, knowledge and comprehensive skillset into a range of new sectors including nuclear, power generation and petrochemical.
The company is well recognised in the industry for its capabilities to work with difficult materials with the ability to engineer innovative solutions to solve complex problems. It has also impressively developed over 650 recognised and fully approved welding procedures which can be used for a range of applications.
