Offshore

ABLE has been involved with the onshore disposal of offshore asset decommissioning since 1984 and is an the acknowledged industry leader.

On the basis of this early involvement, ABLE anticipated that the international market for decommissioning work on offshore oil and gas installations would expand significantly over the coming years. ABLE therefore purchased the Graythorp Dry Dock now renamed TERRC (Teesside Environmental Reclamation & Recycling Facility) being part of Able Seaton Port on Teesside which, together with its adjacent Seaton Meadows landfill, ensures that ABLE provides the BPEO (Best Practicable Environmental Option) for all onsite decommissioning.

In addition to its decommissioning capability ABLE also provides unique facilities on a Multi User basis for offshore fabricators/constructors and industrial and civil engineering contractors. The facilities are available under a variety of leased/rented, serviced/non-serviced arrangements to suit all projects and client requirements.

This unique capability is further enhanced by three other facilities on the Tees including Middlesbrough Port (previously the Odebrecht-SLP offshore fabrication & assembly yard).

The proximity of the decommissioning facilities to Seaton Meadows special waste landfill and ready access to rail/road/sea for recycling of materials ensures that the Teesside location provides the most efficient waste disposal and recycling route and therefore the most environment-friendly decommissioning facility available in Europe, probably the World.
