Inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) and maintenance packages provider Vertech Group has secured a new long-term major services agreement with Australian energy giant Woodside Energy.
The contract is the continuation of the companies’ long-term relationship which commenced in 2011, culminating in the award of Vertech’s first major services agreement back in 2014.
Under the new agreement, which commenced on 1 July, Vertech will provide the services required by Woodside including, but not limited to, specialist maintenance, brownfields, engineering, turnaround excellence, projects, subsea, pipelines and decommissioning works.
