UTEC Survey Merges EMEA Operations
UTEC Survey, headquartered in the USA, is to merge NCS Survey with its Aberdeen-based operations UTEC Survey Construction to form one organisation in Europe, Middle East and Africa: UTEC NCS Survey. The combination of UTEC and NCS provides a wide range of solutions for offshore positioning and construction support which includes rig moves, heavy lift, AUV services, geoscience as well as industrial measurement/dimensional control and asset management support.
UTEC and NCS are both part of the Acteon group of companies which specialises in subsea services.
Crawford Tennant, regional manager UTEC Survey EMEA Region, commented that the merger provides an opportunity to develop a robust business model in EMEA and drive operational efficiencies demanded in this market environment. As a result of this UTEC will consolidate its Mediterranean operations into the Aberdeen-based organisation and close its Naples office. The new Regional HQ located in Westhill provides a wider range of capabilities, first-class workshop and training facilities, and the critical mass to respond to clients’ complex survey projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
As well as its HQ in Westhill, Aberdeen UTEC will continue to operate in Norway (UTEC NCS), Livingston (UTEC Starnet), Newcastle and Bath (UTEC Geomarine).
