Dales Marine Services Ltd is
delighted to announce the acquisition of 20 new welding generators from MB
Plant, Peterhead.
The company has purchased new assets for four of its five
facilities, including Aberdeen, Leith, Greenock, and Troon. This investment
will enhance the capabilities of Dales Marine, enabling them to provide better
services to their clients.
MB Plant has been a supplier for
Dales Marine for 25 years, providing a variety of plant equipment to the
business. The newly acquired welding generators are replacements for older
machines and will be utilised on-site at the Dales Marine facilities and remotely
at clients' sites, as required.
As part of a more extensive
investment program to acquire new equipment, new welding generators have been
purchased for Dales Marine’s four main facilities. Aberdeen, Greenock, Leith,
and Troon have been experiencing a steady increase in the number of vessels
coming to their docks for scheduled maintenance and repairs, and the new
welding generators will aid in the fabrication of new steelwork, and support
ship repair and maintenance operations.
Gary Norrie, the Project Manager
at Dales Marine Services based in Aberdeen, recently led this project, and was
delighted to take delivery at the Aberdeen yard.
Gary said: "The new
diesel welding generators will provide a more flexible solution at our sites.
The new equipment offers welders superior welding performance, and simultaneous
use of welding and 110V/415V AC auxiliary power. They will prove
invaluable when working on the docked vessels at our yards or remotely. The
Dales Marine team regularly work on remote-based projects, and the new welding
generators are expected to be a game changer for them.”
Paul O'Brien, the Operations
Director of Dales Marine Services, expressed his delight with the recent
investment. He mentioned that the company has also invested significantly in
new plant and vehicles which are due to arrive within the next few weeks. They
will be ready for operational use after the Christmas break.
