PCH secures work in Caspian Sea

WESTERN Australia-based scaffolding supplier PCH Group has secured two new contracts in the Caspian Sea region.

The first contract is for the Azerbaijan International Operating Company (AIOC), a BP operated consortium, and covers the hook-up and commissioning of the 15,000-tonne production, compression, water injection and utilities topsides project, and 12,000t drilling, utilities and quarters integrated decks.

PCH will provide scaffolding, coatings and insulation services to the project for a year starting immediately.

The work is part of the $US13 billion ($A15.6 billion) ACG Full Field Development project.

The second contract awarded to the company is for the provision of scaffolding and coatings tank work at AIOC’s Sangachal Onshore Terminal.

PCH is also currently tendering for a number of other projects in the region.

Managing director James Cullen said the company had just submitted two highly significant tenders which followed a record tender submitted a few weeks ago.

Last year PCH advised that there would be a lull in its Caspian activity as the company awaited the beginning of major new projects in the region.

Cullen said despite the slow 12 months the company forecasted, PCH was now “plugging the gaps” during the lull and would see more activity than originally expected, ahead of next year’s anticipated rebound.
