Energy Voice puts the spotlight on our fabrication capabilities and services
Multi-disciplined engineering firm JBS Group is experiencing significant growth in one of its specialist service areas – fabrication – as it pursues new opportunities.
The company delivers fabrication projects of all sizes and levels of complexity for oil and gas operators as well as energy service and supply firms, in the UK and further afield.
Its engineering and fabrications division possesses the resources and capabilities to perform structural and pipework fabrication in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials – encompassing anything from small-scale components to large load-out structures.
JBS Group’s Peterhead base features a network of five workshops and specialist support facilities that can accommodate multiple projects simultaneously, alongside an extensive laydown and storage area.
Complemented by multi-skilled teams with a track record of delivering fabrication projects onsite and at customer locations, it uniquely equips the company to deliver quality outcomes for customers in this particular area of activity.
Jo McIntosh, JBS Group’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We’re pushing ahead with our growth strategies across our product and service lines, and nowhere more so than in our fabrication work where customers are increasingly recognising the benefits associated with our unique service proposition.
“It’s based on a genuinely flexible approach to service delivery and many years of experience in multiple international markets.
“It’s also a complete offering, including material supply, fabrication and testing – with each customer order overseen by a dedicated project manager.
“Our capabilities, and our track record, range from onsite fabrication at our Peterhead base to offsite delivery locally, nationally and internationally – and to both onshore and offshore operations.
“Current JBS activities, for example, extend from a variety of fabrication scopes at our base to an onsite team performing work for a major contractor at its facility in Rosyth and a team of welders and fabricators mobilising to support another offshore contractor in the Gulf of Mexico.”
Fabrication projects include: primary and secondary steel framework or structures; HPU frames; anchors; work platforms; umbilical reelers and pipework.
Beyond oil and gas, JBS Group’s customer portfolio spans the renewables, distilleries and maltings, and aerospace sectors – and its fabrication teams also directly support the manufacture and deployment of some of its own key products.
That includes frames and installs for its blast and fire containment solutions, as well as build and install support for its screw conveyor products. In addition, JBS manufactures its innovative controlled flow excavation (CFE) system Sea Axe in-house.
JBS Group is also a recent award winner, taking the Going Global category at the 2023 Northern Star Business Awards.
