Engineering and construction company Engie Fabricom has invested in its largest UK fabrication facility as part of a series of improvements.
The company, which manufactures offshore wind and substation structures, has bolstered transportation across its Immingham site, close to the mouth of the River Humber on Britain’s north-east coast.
As part of the upgrades, the company has invested in improving its road rail crossing to support access links to both rail and docking areas.
Engie Fabricom has also made a large investment into its state-of-the-art welding fume extraction facilities to meet HSE standards.
Chief executive Richard Webster said: “It is important for the business to continually invest in our facilities and be at the very forefront in service delivery.
“It is absolutely imperative that we continue to ensure all systems are well above HSE requirements and operate as efficiently as possible.”
Being adjacent to the deep-water port of Immingham on the banks of the River Humber, the site has direct road and sea links to Engie Fabricom’s clients in the offshore wind, oil, gas and power sectors.
According to Engie Fabricom the Immingham facility has received an “unprecedented number of enquiries” for its full turnkey services in modular build works, in particular pre-assembled units (PAUs).
The upgrades to the site form part of the company’s growth plans, which have included the introduction of a more streamlined organisational structure, in order to achieve a 100% increase in turnover by 2022.
Webster added: “Our manufacturing and construction centre is in an absolute ideal location – which is very much a selling point for our clients – and through enhancing our already robust transport infrastructure at this site – our operations will run even more swiftly.”
