Leading inspection, lifting and manual handling provider, Safelift, is pleased to announce that The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA), has renewed its contract to carry out lifting equipment inspections at the venue for an additional three years.
Combined with a new contract win for Safelift’s offshore division, this is worth over £800,000 in revenue for the firm.
The well-established collaboration began in 2018 at the former AECC venue in Bridge of Don, which has since been replaced by the state-of-the-art TECA facility in Bucksburn.
Since the venue’s inception, Aberdeenshire-based Safelift has played a vital role in ensuring the safety and compliance of TECA, one of the largest and most advanced event complexes of its kind in Scotland. The renewed contract covers biannual inspections of more than 2,500 items of loose lifting equipment, height safety systems, electric-powered hoists, trusses and associated rigging. In addition, Safelift will carry out annual testing and maintenance of the site’s 154 powered hoists, ensuring they meet stringent safety and performance standards.
Safelift’s inspection team is made up of multi-skilled engineers, all highly qualified to industry standards including LEEA, API, CFTS, PCN, and SNT, each bringing 15 to 20+ years of experience to the role.
Despite industry-wide challenges, Safelift has continued to expand, adding two new members to its inspection team this year alone, bringing the headcount to 36.
In addition to its continued success at TECA, Safelift have recently secured several significant new contracts both locally and internationally, including a newly awarded energy project in Uganda, Africa, set to be delivered in the coming months. The company is also in negotiations to secure one of the largest renewable energy contracts in Safelift’s history.
A major milestone in this growth will be the upcoming launch of Safelift’s new, state-of-the-art fabrication facility. Scheduled to open this week, the facility is expected to unlock significant opportunities in the offshore wind and wider renewables sectors.
The new facility’s bespoke design will offer a solutions-led layout for these projects as well as increased usable space within the original facility.
