ABERDEEN, UK – Helix Robotics Solutions has awarded a two-year frame agreement to Maritime Developments Ltd. (MDL) for project engineering services and equipment supply.

The agreement covers the provision of MDL’s project management and engineering services, as well as personnel and equipment.

At the project planning stage, HRS will be able to draw on MDL’s in-house expertise for storyboard development, visualizations and procedures/task plans for offshore execution, deck layout optimization, seafastening design and verification, drawings and calculation packages and crane lift requirement assessments.

For the project execution phase, HRS will have access to the company’s personnel and rental fleet designed to maximize efficiency during operations, and look to optimize the costs and timescales in mob/demob stages with MDL’s portable technology.

MDL will also provide field engineering support to act as the interface between vessel management team, end client and pipelay equipment spread during mobilization, offshore execution and demobilization.

Dave Gardiner, MDL VP Global, said: “We are very pleased to be entering this agreement with Helix, following a successful decommissioning project in the North Sea at the end of last year.

“That project gave us an opportunity to present the extent of our in-house expertise to Helix and to gain an understanding of where the two companies complement each other, to the benefit of the end client.”
