Anti-corrosion specialist Gemini Corrosion Services has completed a £1/4 million contract ahead of schedule for Japanese company Sumitomo, securing jobs at its Montrose base in Scotland and raising the possibility of future expansion.
The contract for coating and sealing 217 pipe joints was part of the Edradour project for Total and, as a result of its success, has lead to Gemini undertaking further work the same project.
Gemini’s managing director Steven McGilvray described the contract as “hugely significant”.
He added: “For us it was the first job completed at our upgraded facilities here at Montrose and has led to a spin off contract for the field joints. For the first time, work is also able to come in from Japan direct to the quayside at Montrose.
“Our challenge now is to build on that success and, hopefully, bring in more people to work on future contracts.”
