With full ownership of its Brazilian operations, Altrad is now well-positioned in Brazil to accelerate growth, innovation, and client service excellence across South America.
Recently renamed to Altrad Sparrows, the company is located in a large 20,000-square-metres facility in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro.
The premises house all the necessary administrative and operational resources to provide comprehensive support to clients, offering expert engineering, maintenance, and training solutions tailored to their needs.
This strategic milestone reflects Altrad Sparrows’s strong presence in the onshore and offshore oil and gas and power generation markets, and specifically two key service offerings that deliver high value to clients:
Online De-sanding: Cost-Effective and Safe Production Support
Online De-sanding is a process designed to remove sand and other debris from oil production separator vessels without halting production. The waste materials are safely extracted and segregated into designated reservoirs for proper disposal. This technique significantly reduces operational costs by avoiding expensive shutdowns and minimises safety risks by eliminating the need for personnel to enter confined spaces.
Additional benefits include:
- No direct contact with contaminants for workers
- Reduced deferral costs
- Avoidance of critical path shutdown cleaning operations
- Lower personnel-on-board (POB) requirements compared to offline cleaning methods
Altrad Sparrows brings extensive expertise in Online De-sanding, having successfully delivered similar projects in the North Sea for a number of global energy and oil and gas operators.
Rotating Machine Inspection and Maintenance: Expertise for Onshore and Offshore
Altrad Sparrows also provides specialised inspection and maintenance services for rotating machinery in both onshore and offshore environments. Qualified teams are equipped to perform OEM-standard inspections and maintenance on high-power generation equipment, including generators and the motors or engines that power them.
The company has a proven track record of excellence in projects involving generators and electric thruster motors, consistently earning positive evaluations from clients.
