Global services company EnerMech Canada has signed its first LNG pre-commissioning and commissioning contract in Canada.
News of the contract follows EnerMech investing over C$19.6m in additional equipment to bolster its fleet, capabilities and services in the Americas.
Under terms of the awarded deal, EnerMech will roll out its integrated project management and delivery solutions specifically developed to enhance efficiencies.
Christian Brown, CEO of EnerMech, said the award is a strategically important win for the company as it looks to increase its foothold as a services provider for LNG production, storage and loading projects.
EnerMech’s core capabilities work scope includes temporary commissioning utilities, valve calibration and testing, pneumatic and hydraulic testing of piping systems, pre-start up flushing of rotating equipment lubrication systems, chemical cleaning of process systems and operational pressure testing, drying and inserting of low temperature process systems.
Joseph Lichon, President of EnerMech Americas, added, “From the construction completion phase to the pre-commissioning and commissioning stages, leading to plant readiness, we look forward to each segment of this contract being achieved through our steadfast, safe and reliable operations.”
