The first SANY SY500H, 50t excavator, sold in the UK is about to start work on ten oil platforms in a decommissioning yard in Methil.Scott Taylor, sales and applications engineering director at Miller UK, and Adam Bruce, director, CessCon Decom
The machine, which carries a 60-inch heavy duty bucket from Miller UK as well as a six-tonne Fortress shear supplied by Murray Plant will help process more than 23,000 tonnes of material per platform.CessCon Decom was recently awarded the contract for the onshore decommissioning, dismantling and recycling of structures from the East Irish Sea and subsequently purchased the excavator last month through SANY’s direct sales and support route in Scotland. Heading up the purchasing process was former AB2000 owner, Adam Bruce, who is now director at the decommissioning business.“It’s important to invest in the correct equipment so we can provide a fit-for-purpose and environmentally responsible decommissioning service to our clients”, commented Adam. “I’ve always had positive experiences with the SANY product and that combined with the quality of Miller’s attachments, helped in the decision-making process for the decommissioning project.”
