Joining Forces

TDW, Offshore Independents

TDW Offshore Services AS (TDW) joined forces with Offshore

Independents BV to offer integrated solutions for companies keen to retain a full range of pipeline services and emergency pipeline repair systems from a single source. The two companies agree that there is a gap in the market for an organization that offers pipeline recertification and project management services, in addition to core inspection, repair and mainte- nance services, and expertise in emer- gency pipeline repair systems. “Together we offer a truly compre- hensive range of special services to the world’s pipeline industry,” said

Dirk Rook, Commercial Director of

Offshore Independents. “TDW has an excellent reputation globally for its pipeline pressure isolation tech- nology that they have used with great success to facilitate the safe repair of pipelines onshore and offshore.

TDW’s products and services are the perfect complement to our range of pipeline recertification, project man- agement and engineering services.

This gives us the opportunity to bet- ter assist our clients as they strive to prepare for the unexpected,” he added. Expro Inks Deal with
