The former Bi-Fab yard at Arnish is keeping “very busy” with two contract wins for the Hinkley C nuclear power station and for Italian energy services firm Saipem.
Harland and Wolff, which now owns the facility, said Isle of Lewis facility is meanwhile on track to complete its first contract, awarded in October, for four suction piles for an offshore energy project.
The new deal for Hinkley C involves fabrication of “Super Duplex Shells”, with the first of the dozen to be rolled from tomorrow and completion expected by the end of June.
Meanwhile, the site has been working on fabrication of boat landings for a contract for Saipem.
Harland and Wolff won a £26m deal earlier this year to support the firm in fabrication work for the NnG offshore windfarm.
The first of eight boat landings being fabricated at Arnish will be dispatched to Methil in Fife next week, with the second going out two weeks later.
Harland and Wolff said the combined value of both projects is estimated to be £2m – £3m.
CEO John Wood said: “I am delighted to see that Arnish is very busy with a number of projects being run in parallel.
“The team have done an excellent job to get the first contract delivered on time and on budget. This performance has provided immense credibility to the yard in its negotiations with a number of new clients.”
The awards come as outcry was sparked earlier this week as UAE-based fabricator Lamprell was selected for a trio of floating wind projects from Cerulean Winds off the coast of Scotland, worth £10bn.
That followed another £150m deal for Lamprell last month for the Moray West wind project.
Earlier this week, Cerulean Winds said the work required “significant fabrication capacity” – currently being developed in Scotland – to deliver its project.
