Sparrows Group has secured two crane contracts with Dubai Petroleum, one for maintenance services and the other for the delivery of rental cranes
The first contract is for five-years crane maintenance services and covers 76 cranes across all of Dubai Petroleum’s offshore fields. The contract has been re-awarded to Sparrows after it previously held it for 14 years.
It will provide maintenance and engineering support for all cranes and associated systems and deliver a maintenance strategy, with technical personnel working on-site including a dedicated crane operator instructor.
The second contract is a new three-year agreement and is for the provision of rental cranes to support Dubai Petroleum’s well intervention activities. Sparrows will deliver modular temporary cranes and all associated equipment, including skidding systems.
As part of the scope, Sparrow Group’s specialist engineering personnel will support the commissioning, operations and decommissioning of the cranes. This also includes the delivery of installation plans and post set-up structural assessments.
Stewart Mitchell, Sparrows chief executive officer, said: “Sparrows has a successful history with Dubai Petroleum, having worked with the operator for a number of years. It’s great to be able to get back to work on the maintenance contract and the addition of the new crane rental project is testament to our team’s experience, knowledge and skills. We look forward to continuing to implement the high quality and safety standards we are recognised for across Dubai Petroleum’s assets.”
