SIMMONS EDECO has expanded and enhanced its European operations base in Great Yarmouth, England.
To better serve its growing customer base, SIMMONS EDECO has taken a number of significant steps during recent months. The 100,000 square foot base has more than doubled in size and the new complex offers significant benefits to both customers and staff. For example, the company delivers its recently launched Well Life Cycle & Well Integrity Awareness Programme to train employees and customers in valve and wellhead maintenance. Training takes place in the dedicated training facility, where delegates work with an actual pressurised training surface Christmas tree.
The expanded maintenance centre and bigger warehouse also mean that SIMMONS EDECO can store, service and deploy equipment more efficiently. Space dedicated to office and administration has also been enlarged to house the 84-plus staff that support operations around the world.
The expanded multi-million pound facility comes as good news to SIMMONS EDECO customers. During recent months, EDF Energy, SSE and a major operator in the Southern North Sea have awarded valve and wellhead maintenance service contracts to the company, which are being supported from Great Yarmouth.
