Heerema Hartlepool Ltd, a subsidiary of Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG), builds structures for the offshore oil, gas and renewable energy-related industries, including subsea installations, fixed platforms and floating production facilities. Heerema offers two purpose-built construction facilities located around the sheltered Victoria Harbour in Hartlepool. This prime north east England location affords ready access by sea, air, road and rail and is nestled between Teesside and Tyneside, two of the industry’s major sources of fabrication skills and expertise. The construction site consists of two fabrication halls and covers 76,401 m 2 , with a 355-metre, 15,000-tonne capacity quayside for large load-outs.

The facilities include: • Covered large assembly halls • Fully equipped prefabrication facilities • Covered material stores • Covered blasting and painting facilities

Workshops The temperature-controlled blasting and painting workshop is supported by two additional covered shelters for blasting and coating larger structures. Storage and Equipment Heerema Hartlepool has three large, covered and heated storage areas onsite for storing equipment and materials. Some 16,100 m 2 of open storage and quarantine space within the covered facilities provide significant onsite capacity. An extensive array of equipment is available, including permanent lifting capacity of up to 400 tonnes inside the main fabrication hall, which is fully maintained in accordance with UK legislation and manufacturers’ recommendations. We hire specialised cranes for major lifts outside the fabrication halls of up to approximately 800 tonnes. •
