Sparrows doubles size of UAE operations
01 December 2019
The Sparrows Group, a global provider of specialist equipment and integrated engineering services to the oil and gas sector, has doubled the size of its UAE operations after securing contracts worth over £55 million ($71 million) in the past three months.
The first of two major contracts for drilling equipment services in the region will see the company deliver full overhaul and recertification of nine catwalk units and eight mast cranes. The second project is for the inspection, repair and recertification of a top drive and pipe handler. The work for both contracts will be undertaken in Sparrows’ workshop facilities in Abu Dhabi, says the UK-based group.
These contract wins have resulted in over 150 new positions being created in the region. Included in this recent round of wins is a significant five-year award with a major E&P business as well as two large drilling equipment support contracts, it adds.
According to Sparrows, work has already begun on the five-year fully integrated mechanical lifting equipment management project. The contract will see the group deliver operation and maintenance of existing pedestal cranes and overhead cranes, static lifting and mechanical handling equipment, among others.
