At Scobie McIntosh, we never fall out of our depth in
undertaking challenging projects. That’s why we were
awarded the contract to manage the design, development
and installation of catering facilities aboard an offshore oil
facility in the North Sea.

Business Challenge

limited space available. Since the Piper Alpha incident, there are
particular challenges to offshore projects in that every aspect of

Despite the logistical constraints of delivering this project on board
an oil rig, the project team was able to draw on experience from
earlier projects to successfully deliver the project.
Scobie McIntosh also encountered other challenges. Electricity supplies can vary depending on which sector of the North Sea the rig
is positioned, and the nationality of the company that operate the
rig. We had to ensure that this was taken into account when designing and installing.
To further complicate matters, our team had to take into consideration the expected yaw and pitch of a rig when it is being moved or
operated which can be quite considerable.
