<br />
Shoreland Access has been contracted by Nissan to provide Non Destructive Testing on a number of drop lifters in their Washington based factory.<br />
<br />
The works have taken place during a two week summer shut-down at the famous South Tyneside factory.<br />
<br />
Shoreland Director Jack Miles when discussing the project said "A lot of people when they think of NDT, think mainly of oil & gas. The Nissan project demonstrates the versatility and uses across many different industry sectors that NDT provides."<br />
<br />
The factory is somewhat of a local landmark in the North East and has been a constant source of jobs since 1986, when the factory was opened by the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.<br />
<br />
The factory was supposed to herald a new dawn for the North East. After the region was severely hit with the closures of numerous coal mines, the opening of the Nissan Factory was meant to mark the start of a new manufacturing powerhouse.<br />
<br />
Whilst many companies have come and gone in this time, Nissan has remained a constant and looks to go well into the future with new car lines announced at the site recently.<br />
<br />
Shoreland has demonstrated that it has niche knowledge of inspections in not only Oil & Gas as may be expected, but also in Defence, Car Manufacturing and Chemical Plants.<br />

complete a complex maintenance project on the Redcar site’s four stoves and
blast furnace.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Work got under way last week on the 19<sup>th</sup> Century

the transportation of lead, coal and other minerals that were mined in the
area.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The railway line, which crosses the South of the Tyne, diminished
in importance with the decline of first lead mining and then coal. In fact the
last time the bridge saw a train pass over the famous arches was back in 1976.</div>

For this reason, Shoreland has been tasked with maintaining the

remove all vegetation from the stonework and to prevent future re-growth. Painting of handrails and removal of trees

<div class="MsoNormal">
The North Pier at Seaham Harbour has been protecting the
historic farming village for well over one hundred years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It sits on a coastline that was designated a ‘heritage coast’
back in 2001 and is vital for the Town’s flood defences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Concerns have been raised in recent years as the pier is
known to have been breached at least three times. With weather becoming more erratic and
unpredictable due to climate change, there were even fears the pier could
collapse completely if left untouched.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those fears were put to rest earlier this year however, when
Durham County Council announced it had secured funding for the restoration of
the landmark. In a scheme that will cost well over £3m, around 100 homes and
dozens of businesses will be safeguarded against the risk of flooding.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what is Shoreland’s part in this project?<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivi2zq6GKCT3mTal_a-ZWkh9rAqEE1tBhuQYh5dc7VP3nRV2Jj6hmfriJsr4ETvNDWKdXJc8wVPin2_bEFwcQQYdQaknK6IcdDE-B1O4_MkzAhV_c-MfULjnkK3TefZ-Tu7NqbBP5sTjhO/s1600/IMG-20141002-WA0007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivi2zq6GKCT3mTal_a-ZWkh9rAqEE1tBhuQYh5dc7VP3nRV2Jj6hmfriJsr4ETvNDWKdXJc8wVPin2_bEFwcQQYdQaknK6IcdDE-B1O4_MkzAhV_c-MfULjnkK3TefZ-Tu7NqbBP5sTjhO/s1600/IMG-20141002-WA0007.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well the company actually has two parts to play. Firstly,
Carillion, who are the main contractors for the project, have enlisted two of
Shoreland’s four vessels to work as safety boats while works are ongoing on the
pier.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The safety boats will be required for the duration of the
project which is due to finish in November 2015. Whilst there are workers on
the pier, the boats must be present in order to retrieve any individual, who
may for whatever reason, end up in the drink!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shoreland is also playing a part in the reinforcement of the
pier itself, by supplying rope access technicians to drill steel bars into the
side of the structure which will later be filled with concrete.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Shoreland Access is delighted to be a part of a project that
will help secure local people’s homes and livelihoods for years to come.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is the first time Shoreland have partnered with Carillion
to undertake a project but will hopefully not be the last. The construction industry
has seen resurgence in recent years and I wouldn’t bet against Carillion
enlisting Shoreland’s services again for future projects.</div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI), a Thai based steelmaking
company, made the decision in 2012 to reopen the famous Redcar steel plant that
had been mothballed in 2010 by previous occupants, TATA Steel.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When the plant closed it was a massive blow to a region that
has become synonymous with heavy industry and in particular, steelmaking.
However, Teesside was to find salvation from an unlikely source; Thailand.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The agreement SSI made with TATA Steel heralded a new beginning
for the landmark site and created 1,000 new jobs in the process.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shoreland Access has now been supporting SSI for all their
NDT requirements since early 2013. It has been a partnership that has grown
from strength to strength resulting in Shoreland having its own office on site.</span></div>

maintenance and upkeep of the site are incredibly stringent; meaning Shoreland’s
expertise and experience in supporting COMAH sites has proven to be invaluable
to SSI.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shoreland’s latest project with the steel giant is proving
to be the most complex and significant to date. Shoreland NDT Technicians are
inspecting four stoves and the blast furnace at the site to ensure their
integrity remains intact. Where stress corrosion cracks are found, Shoreland’s
Welders, use Arc-Air to cut out plates and replace them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is a project that is scheduled to last two months. The
logistics of such a project can prove challenging as the site still needs to fulfil
its commitments of steel production whilst the works are on-going. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shoreland and SSI have proved to be an excellent partnership
so far, and as the Thai based company appears to be going from strength to
strength in the UK, it is a partnership that should only continue to grow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Director Neil Cox said at its opening ‘Newcastle and the

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cardiff Bay boasts a shoreline that can compete with some of

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shoreland has carried out similar projects previously on
major landmarks such as the Glasgow Science Tower. For this reason, Shoreland’s
expertise has proved pivotal when Principal Hayley, the hotel's owners,
selected them to undertake the project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you can see from some of the photographs, the steel
structure is of substantial size. In order to access the structure, Shoreland
has assigned eight Rope Access Technicians who will work on the sail for over
two months. Technicians will first target stripping the rust and corrosion back
before applying anti-corrosive metal primer paint.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nearly half way through the project and work is progressing
nicely. There have been some minor setbacks, mainly due to poor weather and
Barack Obama.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes I did say Barack Obama. The President of The United
States had the audacity to attend a NATO summit based in the area, meaning
Shoreland had to postpone their important works, in order for his secret
service to place snipers on the roof.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Shoreland Access are well versed in these sorts of setbacks
however, and took it all well within their stride. Work has now recommenced and
is very much on track. We look forward to providing you with a further update
once all work is completed and another successful Shoreland project is brought
to a close.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Shoreland

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Grade A

Glasgow, had been left untouched for years and as a result parts of the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The hope one

<b><u>Shoreland
Access complete work on the iconic Glasgow Tower, after prestigious contract
award. <o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Shoreland
Access was earlier this year awarded a prestigious contract by the Glasgow
Science Centre to assess the structural integrity and to carry out any
resultant remedial works to the World famous Glasgow Tower ahead of the 2014
Commonwealth Games.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The Tower,
which is the tallest Tower in the World in which the whole structure is capable
of rotating 360 degrees, is as famous for its chequered past as it is its
striking appearance and engineering ingenuity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Since its
belated opening in 2001 as the Millennium Tower, the Tower has spent the
majority of its life closed and Shoreland Access was recently tasked with
assessing and certifying its integrity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Shoreland
utilised their Rope Access division to check and replace any panels that
had become unsafe and were at risk of detaching themselves from the Tower in
high wind. The Rope Access method was also used to re-paint parts of the
Observation Deck which is located 345 feet up the 417 feet structure. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Shoreland’s
NDT Division (Non Destructive Testing) carried out extensive structural survey
work using the Ultrasonic UT method. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) uses high
frequency sound energy in a pulse form to conduct examinations/inspections and
make very accurate measurements for thickness checks or corrosion mapping.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
After
completing the project ahead of time and under budget Shoreland Director, Neil
Cox, said “It was such a fantastic project to be involved in and we’ll take
great satisfaction in watching Team GB bring home the medals in 2014, knowing
that we played our part in enhancing the City’s skyline and enjoyment of the
thousands who will visit Glasgow during the games and beyond.” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He added “I
believe it is testament to the team here at Shoreland Access that we delivered
the project under budget and ahead of time, in what was logistically and
practically a very challenging series of works.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Steve Ross of
the Glasgow Science Centre said “It was of paramount importance that these
works were carried out and in Shoreland Access we could not have wished for a
better partner to have undertaken the project.” <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Our recent
bathometric survey for Sheppard Offshore started with a nice afternoon on the
Tyne calibrating the equipment with a cup of tea and high spirits. It ended at
midnight soaking wet, freezing cold and with a distinct lack of moral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The weather
had picked up from a light April breeze to bone chilling 45mph northerly with
sufficient rain to dampen even the highest enthusiasm.</span>Our efforts
seemed futile but we carried on for several hours collecting valuable data and
correlating the depths with our GPS position. All I could think about was the
Pot Noodle I had left on my car seat. Darkness soon fell and we decided to call
it a day and return at first light to complete the survey in what we thought
might be slightly better weather conditions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">WRONG, we
were met with yet more unrelenting weather but this time we had a fresh pint of
milk and a jar of coffee to see us through the morning. We drove for a further
4 hours along the parallel lines that we had laid out on the plotting system
and finally after twice as long as it should have taken we had finished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">In any
other circumstance we would have postponed the survey until the weather had
moved on but the customer needed the results ASAP so we had to get it done,
regardless. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Shoreland Accesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247980297285196149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129949105419584122.post-35706596698649162852012-02-29T08:03:00.000-08:002012-02-29T08:03:19.291-08:00Sage Gateshead<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6jPjA9gmX7L8BKY5ipFq_yIfgYgFxGOSOQ9fqVJD_DNZUrpiSSgoTtCTLT49v0k_QPQ3BKGNTm0z45OukInAX0F5WTzykbgagdter6V6c4qdA5JMmVY5kUl41QNXDt5aqsXUE7A0O01J/s1600/Shoreland+pic1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6jPjA9gmX7L8BKY5ipFq_yIfgYgFxGOSOQ9fqVJD_DNZUrpiSSgoTtCTLT49v0k_QPQ3BKGNTm0z45OukInAX0F5WTzykbgagdter6V6c4qdA5JMmVY5kUl41QNXDt5aqsXUE7A0O01J/s320/Shoreland+pic1.jpg" width="191" /></a></div>Shoreland Access operatives cleaning the Sage in Gateshead.Shoreland Accesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247980297285196149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129949105419584122.post-57490893759824737092012-02-29T07:05:00.002-08:002012-02-29T07:05:46.935-08:00<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Welcome to our news page!</span>Shoreland Accesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247980297285196149noreply@blogger.com0
