SeaRoc and HSEQ Experts join forces
SeaRoc Group Ltd and HSEQ Experts GmbH have completed a collaboration agreement to provide a combined service offering to help support the construction and operation of Offshore Windfarms in Germany and other European markets. The two companies have been working together since March 2014 and this agreement formalizes their existing arrangement.
SeaRoc and HSEQ Experts have highly complementary competencies and capabilities, with both organisations having significant experience of offshore wind construction projects. The initial focus of the collaboration will be to provide offshore wind farm construction support services in such areas as marine construction management, marine coordination and quality control.
This collaborative venture is led by SeaRoc’s Principal Engineering Advisor, Nick Murphy, an English/German native speaker, with significant experience of delivering international Offshore Renewable Energy projects, and HSEQ Experts Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter/CEO, Bodo Lehwald, a highly experienced HSE Professional and company director. The two companies will utilise both English and German speaking specialists to deliver these services with support provided by SeaRoc’s SeaPlanner marine management software, which has been successfully deployed on over 20 offshore renewable energy projects to date in the UK and the rest of Europe.
HSEQ Experts will support SeaRoc in the delivery of other contracting packages, such as the supply of temporary power generation for offshore projects in Germany through the provision of local personnel and HSE support to ensure that SeaRoc’s systems are compliant with German legislation. SeaRoc has been highly successfully in delivering its temporary power generation services to the UK offshore wind market.
David Wotherspoon, Operations Director, SeaRoc, “SeaRoc has been operating in the offshore wind sector since 2002 and the company has built up an enviable track record in delivery across the development, construction and operation phases. We were looking for a partner with complementary skillsets and ambitions to work within the German market and abroad.“
