Engineering firm celebrates 300th contract win since start of decade

Engineering consultancy firm Ardmore Craig has successfully finished the working year having secured its 300th contract since its 2010 establishment.

Teesside-based IN-SPEC Manufacturing approached the company, located at Lingfield Point in Darlington, with the concept - to design fabricated assemblies for the positioning of fenders on the quayside, alongside a lifting tool to install the structures.

The project is being undertaken on behalf of PD Ports, as it continues to invest in its port facilities at Teesside.

Ardmore Craig’s director, Andy Stevenson, said: “The company’s continuing ability to put clients’ needs first, and work to their individual requirements and timescales, continues to reap rewards - with several of the world’s largest cable lay contractors placing multiple orders over the last six months.”

Once installed, using the lifting tool, the fabricated assemblies will support existing fenders on the dock, preventing damage to both berthing vessels and the dock itself.

The announcement of Ardmore Craig’s 300th contract follows many more recent work scopes tasked to the company’s offshore oil and gas, marine and renewable-focused design teams.
