- Bilfinger to provide NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) inspection services across all of bp’s North Sea assets
- Award strengthens longstanding partnership and continues successful delivery of safe, efficient, and forward-thinking services
- Expansion of service scope across North Sea assets, following recent three-year extension of Bilfinger’s insulation, access and painting (ISP) contract
Aberdeen, United Kingdom. International industrial services provider Bilfinger has secured a contract to provide inspection services using Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) across all of bp’s North Sea assets. This milestone follows the recent three-year extension of Bilfinger’s existing insulation, access, and painting (ISP) contract with bp in the UK, originally awarded in 2019.
Since the inception of the initial contract with bp, Bilfinger has expanded its service provision to include tank entry and specialist cleaning. The renewed agreement ensures the continuation of over 250 jobs, with a dedicated team of 14 onshore and 241 offshore personnel, and extends until 2027.
A range of advanced technologies, including robotics and artificial intelligence, will be deployed to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and support bp’s commitment to sustainable operations. The contract will also introduce a fully integrated, end-to-end digital workflow, raising the bar for NDT through smart digitization and AI-ready integration.
David Hall, Vice President Inspection at Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance UK, says: “This contract award is a testament to the success of our collaborative approach with bp and our extensive experience of delivering integrated services that deliver value, without compromise. Bilfinger continues to pioneer the development and implementation of new competency standards for Non-Destructive Testing, while also evaluating and validating emerging technologies to enhance service delivery and deliver sustainable efficiency improvements.”
This award follows recent contract extensions to two other major North Sea contracts, where Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance UK continues to receive commendations for their exceptional performance and commitment to continuous improvement.
