0 Andrew Mitchell – massive breakthrou­gh for the company Aberdeen-based offshore inspection company Aisus has hailed a “milestone” after landing its first major contract in the renewables industry.

The firm said that the deal marked an important step in delivering its remote inspection services globally across multiple industries, including renewables, oil and gas, petrochemi­cal and nuclear.

The latest inspection project saw the firm undertake work for German transmissi­on systemoper­atortennet­onaconvert­er platform off the coast of Germany.

Andrew Mitchell, business developmen­t manager at Aisus, said: “Entering the renewables market is a massive breakthrou­gh for the company and truly a reflection of our successful growth strategy, and dedication to provide market leading services.

“We have seen an exponentia­l increase in demand for Aisus’ capabiliti­es globally across industries, and project types, which demonstrat­es the adaptabili­ty and innovation of our inspection solutions.”

Alongside deploying its inhouse developed and tested ultrasonic inspection system, called Sirius, the company has designed a new advanced scanning tool, allowing it to inspect larger diameter caissons.

Mat Meredith, technical director, said: “Since the company was formed in 2013 we have invested heavily in research and developmen­t, not only to design and develop bespoke inspection tools, but also to find ways to make our tooling and reporting system adaptable to various operationa­l environmen­ts, and client requiremen­ts.

“Entering the renewables market will enable us to harness and expand our expertise, broaden our product range and global reach, as we look to become a world leader in inspection solutions.”
