BMT and Bayards UP join forces in US Gulf region

BMT has partnered with Bayards UP, the inspection and maintenance division within the Bayards Group, to jointly provide helideck services in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM).

Announcing their teaming agreement at the ‘International Workboat Show’ in New Orleans, USA, Bayards UP and BMT will use their joint knowledge, experience and skills to provide the best helideck related services for their offshore clients in the US Gulf region.

Having supported various research projects for the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on CAP 437 and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), BMT supports the design of helidecks for offshore structures using numerical modelling and provides Helideck Monitoring Systems (HMS) and Integrated Marine Monitoring Systems (IMMS) for offshore platforms worldwide.

Andy Brown, Head of Business Development North America for BMT, says, 

"We are very pleased to team with Bayards UP. With our local presence in the Gulf of Mexico, BMT will carry out all helideck inspections and friction tests for Bayards UP in the region. Subsequent additional services required as a result of the inspections such as maintenance, surface friction reinstatement, replacements, repairs, upgrades or spare parts, will be provided by Bayards UP.”

Peter Hesselink, Service and Maintenance Manager for Bayards UP, adds, “Bayards UP is very excited to have established this teaming agreement and we are looking forward to providing our joint services to our customer base in the US Gulf region.”
