UK SPECIALIST DIVING ANDMARINE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY RED7MARINE (R7M)WILL SOON SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE AMAJOR CONTRACT AT ONE OF THEWORLD’S LARGEST OFFSHOREWIND FARMS, GREATER GABBARD, OFF SUFFOLK.
It’s been a real test of skills and endurance with near non-stop 24/7 operations over 20 months, working for Fluor, joint partners with Airtricity in the project. And it is being achieved with an impeccable safety record, to date clocking up nearly 2000 dives
Not so far away, R7M is heavily involved in Sheringham Shoal wind farm off Norfolk, working from the Ocean Dragon on the cable-landing site; from the jack-up JB104, installing pull-in towers and hydraulic containers on the substation upper decks; and from Volantis installing monopile seabed bell mouths and assisting in the installation of j-tube extensions.
The boom times arrived when R7M launched three years ago from a merger between diving company Anglian Marine Services and Haven Ports (Marine and Constructions Management), creating a one-stop shop for international marine and subsea work.
Diving constitutes 50%of turnover with the company also specialising in a full range of surface construction work and even ‘at height’ projects such as access for turbine transition pieces.
And it is a global player, often with more than 20 operations under way at any one time worldwide. Its aspirations are underlined by the fact that it is currently awaiting a consultancy report on windpower opportunities being developed off Maine, USA.
In its three years, R7M has risen from a £6m turnover company employing 45 to a £21m+ turnover business with a 125- strong workforce, plus around 60 sub- contract divers.
Diving and subsea director Mike Jones stressed the company’s versatility and attention to quality and safety standards, with particular expertise working outside the 12-mile limit.
“There are very few companies like ours which can undertake such a range of activities, owning and operating our own equipment and using a fully-employed workforce,” he added.
For the future, R7M will be chasing global business in the offshore renewables and oil and gas fields and in power and telecoms cable installation.
Headquartered at Manningtree, the company has a diving and subsea division at Great Yarmouth and other strategic bases at Ipswich, Northfleet and Exeter.
