T12 Engineering goes from strength to strength with turnover doubling year on year
Member news

T12 Engineering has experienced strong growth in supporting projects including the design, fabrication management and transportation of materials for various industries, including subsea, oil & gas.
T12 Engineering, which was launched just four years ago, with modest investment by its three founders, has achieved turnover of £2.5m for 2023/2024.
The consultancy, which works across the global energy and industrial sectors and delivers engineering and technical projects and offers ‘engineering on demand’ services, was launched by three founders with a small initial investment and has since doubled its turnover each year.
Despite the absence of external investment, the company has adapted its strategies to focus on meticulous planning, risk management, and strategic development. This approach quickly yielded results, securing two key contracts within its first month of operation, and allowing it to expand its staff to 12, together with two summer interns over the last two years.
To date, T12 has completed projects spanning everything from bridge construction, energy from waste, offshore and onshore petrochemicals, late life extension and asset integrity management adding client value through cost savings in the form of Capex (Capital Expenditure) and Opex (Operational Expenditure).
The business, which is ISO 9001 quality management certified, has secured ongoing engineering service contracts on large tier 1 COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations) sites and providing critical support for brownfield structural modifications and late-life extensions of large-scale industrial assets.
Internationally, T12’s knowledge of offshore engineering solutions and turnkey supply has resulted in multiple contracts with multinational energy service companies, including a landmark agreement with a Norwegian operator, resulting in T12 basing a Norwegian representative in the country. The business also has two Tier 1 offshore contractors as clients and a two-year rolling master services agreement with a disruptive international energy company in Latin America.

We will work with you to promote the event, manage registrations and send out joining instructions and we can help in whatever way you need to maximise the value you get from hosting an event.
The benefits of hosting a cluster networking event are far reaching:

Forth & Tay Offshore cluster member and leading rental solutions provider, Atlas Copco Specialty Rental UK has bolstered its offshore team with the appointment of an offshore sales engineer and a project engineer.
Jamie Ward has joined the company as offshore sales engineer. In his role, Jamie - who brings with him more than a decade of field sales experience - will be responsible for supporting offshore customers with enquiries, quotes, and the design of rental solutions in line with their requirements.
The company has also promoted Derek Brander to project engineer from offshore service engineer. Derek, who has been with the organisation since 2013, will assist the offshore sales team from a technical perspective on complex projects from the tender and bid process through to the delivery of projects.
Atlas Copco Specialty Rental UK specialises in the provision of state-of-the-art temporary compressed air, nitrogen, power modules, specialist subsea cleaning and flow equipment for short or long-term demands, planned contingencies or unexpected emergencies.
Its equipment is designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with ISO-1217 regulations; is built with API specifications in mind, and all units are fitted within DNV 2.7-1 lifting frames for offshore deployment, as well as rig safe compliance. In addition, its advanced control and monitoring systems ensure optimum performance and internet, satellite or mobile networks make field follow-up easier.
The appointments come at a time of growth for Atlas Copco Specialty Rental which has recently made a multi-million-pound investment to drive future growth. To meet ever-increasing demand for its rental equipment, the company has strategically invested in an extensive range of new assets. This includes power generators, electric and diesel-driven air compressors, nitrogen generators, and associated accessories.
The investment will also see the company further upgrade its South Shields depot and the Dundee depot, where Jamie and Derek will be based, in line with its sustainability goals.
