Glacier Energy, a leading international provider of specialist products, services and engineering solutions for energy infrastructure, has been awarded a contract worth around £1 million by
PBS Engineering Ltd for the provision of gas export coolers for Total Exploration and Production UK’s (TEPUK) North Alwyn Platform, in the North Sea.
The scope of work includes the design, fabrication, assembly, inspection, testing and supply of four shell and tube heat exchangers which will be carried out by Glacier Energy’s heat transfer solutions division, based in Aberdeen. Work has already commenced on the units with four heat exchangers due for delivery in January 2021.
PBS Engineering is a new organisation based in Aberdeen which consists of three separate companies – Ponticelli UK Ltd, Brand UK Ltd and Semco Maritime Ltd. It was awarded a five-year contract on 1 May 2020 to provide general operations and maintenance services to all TEPUK assets in the North Sea.
Andy Scott, director of Glacier Energy’s Heat Transfer division (pictured above), said: “This is a significant award that reinforces the strength of our design and manufacturing expertise, as well as our market-leading position in the heat transfer solutions field across the oil and gas, chemical and alternative energy industries.
“A key factor in securing this award was our close collaboration with the client and our ability to provide a custom-engineered solution to eliminate potential and substantial modifications to the platform. We look forward to developing our relationship further with PBS and successfully completing the safe and efficient delivery of this project.”
At the core of the Glacier Energy brand, is the company’s deep-rooted capability amassed through the acquisition of some of the most technical and reputable brands in the industry. Formed in 2011, the company’s mission was to create a fresh alternative in energy services, providing customers with world-class technologies, exceptional service and enhanced value, all from one integrated provider.
In 2013, Glacier Energy acquired Ross Offshore, renowned specialists with decades of experience in the installation, repair, refurbishment and replacement of heat exchangers. This move, a natural strategic fit for Glacier Energy’s offshore business, was then swiftly followed by the acquisition of MSL Heat Transfer in 2014, which strengthened the company’s capability in the design, manufacture and repair of radiators and coolers.
Glacier Energy is currently made up of four divisions – heat transfer solutions, welding solutions, onsite machining solutions and inspection and NDT services. Operating throughout the UK, the company has a growing international presence with strategic partners operating in the Middle East, Caspian Sea area and the USA.
