Energy and marine consultancy ESCO has been awarded a new contract to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services to support the offshore construction of Iberdrola’s 315 MW Windanker offshore wind farm, offshore Germany.

ESCO Germany, based in Hamburg, will provide MWS services to support the offshore transportation and installation (T&I) campaign relating to the foundations, inter-array cables and wind turbine generators (WTGs). Its scope of work includes the provision of expert technical review and approval of documents, operations and vessels relating to the warranted assets.

“We are delighted to have been awarded the Windanker contract following our recent collaboration with Iberdrola on the Baltic Eagle project.”

Tilo Klappenbach, ESCO Germany’s Country Manager

The Windanker project is a major offshore wind farm in Germany located in the Baltic Sea about 25 kilometres offshore. It consists of 21 15MW WTGs, with a combined capacity of 315MW. The installation activities are scheduled for 2025 and 2026, with project commissioning expected by the end of 2026.

“Our main role is to help minimise risk and to ensure that offshore operations are conducted safely and efficiently. We have an extensive track-record of supporting offshore wind farm projects, and we will apply this know-how to the Windanker project.”

Continues Klappenbach

In the German offshore wind market alone, ESCO and its sister company JMC has a project involvement track-record of over 20 offshore wind farms and a combined capacity of over 9GW to date.

ESCO is part of Oslo-listed ESCO Consultants ASA.

One of the world’s leading mining and infrastructure solutions providers has appointed ESCO’s asset integrity management (AIM) team to update and streamline its inventory management processes in Canada.

The mining solutions provider utilises digital and automated technologies to create safer, more productive and sustainable mining operations on behalf of its customers. In addition, the company aims to apply this digital approach to its own operations. The client’s manufacturing site in Canada has therefore selected ESCO’s asset integrity management unit to develop a bill of materials (BoM) and spare parts pilot project to streamline its inventory management processes through SAP, its computerised maintenance management system (CMMS).

This contract marks the expansion of ESCO’s consultancy service to support mining industries. Currently, ESCO primarily provides its services to the renewable energy, oil and gas, and maritime industries, however its solutions in AIM and energy transition can be applied to bring value to a wider pool of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, food and drink, among others.

This pilot project focuses on enhancing asset integrity management and inventory management practices, underlining the industry-agnostic capabilities of this service line.

ESCO’s Calgary office will spearhead the project in collaboration with the client’s local team in Canada.

Afia McClenaghan

“Our local presence in Calgary has been pivotal in fostering a collaborative relationship with our client as we can leverage on-site support to enhance project outcomes. Diversifying our portfolio by expanding to the mining sector is exciting for us as our technology and AIM services can be applied to any industry. We look forward to delivering high-quality results and nurturing a strong working relationship with our client,”

says Afia McClenaghan, managing director of ESCO’s asset integrity management team in Canada.

Highlights Q3 2024
  • Revenues of USD 86.2 million (Q3 23: USD 70.4 million)
  • Operating profit of USD 2.5 million (Q3 23: USD 5.5 million)
  • Adjusted EBIT of USD 3.0 million (Q3 23: USD 6.2 million)
  • Net cash of USD 7.9 million (Q2 24: USD 10.8 million)
  • Continued M&A activity: Ross Offshore fully consolidated from Q3 2024, and Hidromod completed immediately after Q3 close
  • Semi-annual dividend of NOK 0.40 per share declared, to be paid in November

Owain Segal, CEO of ESCO Consultants ASA (“ESCO Consultants” or the “Company”) commented:

“In Q3 2024 we saw a small increase in our EBIT to USD 3.0 million, despite our USD 0.5 million investment in the JMC diversification programme, but were unable to emulate the exceptional performance delivered by the group this quarter in 2023. Our offshore wind market remains challenging, but in other markets we see reasonable demand. The consolidation of Ross Offshore has grown the market presence of our DGL segment, which is now our largest segment measured by revenues and delivered strong performance despite ongoing integration.

The oil & gas, renewables and maritime markets remain solid long-term propositions, and we maintain a strong presence in many key geographies. Near term, as we have seen with offshore wind in the past 12 months, energy markets more broadly are finding a new equilibrium. This leads to shorter-term decision making, but ESCO Consultants is well placed to benefit from the upside to come and will continue to seek accretive M&A opportunities.”

A presentation of the quarterly results will be held today at 08:30 CET at SpareBank 1 Markets’ office at Olav Vs gate 5, 0161 Oslo. The event will be webcast live and available for replay shortly after. To watch the webcast, please visit our Reports and Presentations page.
