Teesside outfit Francis Brown has supplied fabricated deck equipment to support a winch system for Soil Machine Dynamics.
The winch system will operate alongside SMD’s subsea cable trencher that is being used in offshore wind projects in the North Sea by an undisclosed operator.
Francis Brown’s scope was to supply painted fabrications for the winch system as part of a series of projects for SMD, including other subsea and deck equipment fabrication packages.
Francis Brown managing director Mark Roddy said: “Securing repeat business with one of the world’s biggest suppliers of subsea equipment has been a big achievement for Francis Brown.
“Having completed a series of projects recently specialising in the offshore renewable market we’ve established ourselves as a key supplier into this industry.”
