QHSE

Dismantling and Decommissioning jobs can be incredibly hazardous. This is more so when the site was involved in the storage or production of harmful materials. Even small traces of these substances can cause a lot of harm to the environment and people. – Here at Thompsons, we put in place all the necessary prevention and mitigation measures to ensure that our work has the least environmental harm and impact as possible.

All of our work is done in accordance with our Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Management Systems, which are accredited to ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001 standards.

Assets and and Subsea Materials

Thompsons of Prudhoe can provide assets for onshore decommissioning of offshore oil and gas structures as well other oil and gas equipment for both onshore and offshore use such as topsides, jackets and structures.

Onsite NORM Treatment Facility

This state of the art Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) facility, located at our site in the Port of Blyth, provides an onshore turnkey solution to our customers based in oil and gas facilities across and in the North Sea. 

At our NORM facility in Blyth, offshore oil and gas materials don’t need to be sent off for cleaning as they can be done onsite at our onshore facility. This removes the need for materials to be transported to other facilities across the country, which both saves transportation costs for customers and reduces our carbon emission levels.
