Equinor has awarded Scana-owned PSW Technology a three-year contract for maintenance services to the Mongstad refinery.
The agreement is estimated at 200 MNOK per year and contains options for a further six years. "For PSW, this is a game changer," said Oddbjørn Haukøy, Chief Executive Officer of Scana and one of the founders of PSW back in 2007.
Equinor awarded PSW Technology the contract for maintenance services and prefabrication to the plant for the next three years – with options to extend the agreement for a further two three-year periods.
According to the agreement, PSW will supply electrical services, mechanical maintenance, tank maintenance and welding and sludge services. The agreement has an annual value of approx. NOK 200 million, or a total of approximately NOK 1.8 billion if the options are fulfilled and PSW has the assignment for the next nine years.
In the maintenance of the refinery, PSW Technology will receive help from sister companies PSW Power & Automation at Ågotnes and PSW Solutions at Mongstad. The latter has handled tank maintenance and sludge services at the refinery for the past 10 years. PSW is also joined by local subcontractors such as Mongstad Industrier and Østerbø Maskin. Work starts on 1 February with full effect from 1 May, and benefits from PSW’s core services and close proximity to the refinery.
PSW starts the maintenance assignment at Mongstad in May. The company expects to mobilise a team of approximately 150 people for the job, including project staff and administrative positions.
