During the year, the office will acquire a staff of 8-10 engineers. The professional team facility will be amongst the world leaders in the field and will operate at a global level.

Structural integrity
“From our department at Straume we will deliver structural integrity management. In short, we will advise on measures that need to be carried out to prolong the life expectancy of rigs and offshore production equipment”, says Thomas Pedersen, section leader in Axess.

Important
The Bergen area is important to Axess. Many of the company’s customers are located here and the establishment at Straume offers customer proximity. The professional skills in the new section will also strengthen Axess as a total supplier in the fields of inspection and integrity management.

Enormous savings
“A number of our customers in Norway are large international drilling companies, oil companies and FPSO companies. Most of these are looking for a greater degree of international activity, and we follow them. We will ensure that our customers receive the same standard and quality wherever in the world their installations are located. Good maintenance means less downtime and enormous savings. At the same time it is an important insurance against serious accidents”, says Pedersen.
