Outfall pipe installation

In 2023, Jifmar Scotland successfully completed the planning and execution of an ambitious project for the construction of a 2KM civils outfall pipe from mainland UK into the sea.

This initiative showcased the collaborative expertise of Jifmar Scotland in engineering and design and was supported by Jifmar Offshore Services.

This significant project was made possible by the dedicated efforts of our on-site team, strategic use of our specialised vessel, the Voe Viking, and the support from our inhouse professional divers.

The project was successfully completed within the 4-month planned period.

Anti-pollution exercise

In October 2023, Jifmar Scotland was at the forefront of an essential Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) anti-pollution drill, off Scotland’s east coast. Our vessel, the Jif Worker, played a crucial role, alongside a select fleet, in deploying containment booms to manage a simulated oil spill. This exercise, undertaken over three days, demonstrating our commitment and capability in such scenarios.

The Jif Worker showcased its proficiency and precision by effectively towing and positioning the boom to encapsulate the oil near the affected vessel. In the proceeding days Jif Worker deployed additional booms with innovative recovery techniques including the efficient use of skimmers by the Jif Worker to remove the mock oil. The adept handling of on-board equipment, like hoses for diluting the spill, further illustrates our comprehensive approach to pollution control.

Silt curtains installation

Jifmar Scotland (North West Marine) successfully completed a comprehensive reservoir project encompassing the procurement, installation and testing of a submerged and buried siphon, spanning approximately 75 meters in length, with a nominal bore of 2000 mm.

Throughout the entirety of this project, our commitment to environmental preservation remained at the forefront of planning and implementation. To ensure minimal ecological impact, stringent measures were implemented, including the meticulous installation and daily inspection of two layers of silt curtains by our expert divers.

Continuous monitoring of turbidity levels was also conducted daily to facilitate smooth project operations while safeguarding the surrounding environment.

Vessel salvage

In a swift and efficient operation at Tarbert Harbour, our team successfully completed a vessel recovery project within a single day. Working on behalf of an insurance client, our objective was to ensure the safe recovery of a stranded vessel.

The process began with our experienced diver going underwater to remove the mooring ropes, a crucial first step to freeing the vessel. Following this, a thorough assessment of the vessel’s position was conducted to strategise the lifting procedure. Once the position was verified, lifting stropes were meticulously attached to the vessel. Our team then utilised the cranes on our versatile Multicat vessel to lift and reassemble the ship, ensuring it was securely and safely handled throughout the operation. This project is an example of our commitment to efficiency and safe maritime recovery operations.

The successful completion, within a tight timeframe, illustrates our capability to handle complex recovery tasks with professionalism and expertise.

Craignure pier cable tray installation

Over a span of three days, our team successfully completed a cable installation project in the West of Scotland for Argyll and Bute Council. This project involved the meticulous installation of a 3-meter long steel cable trace.

The process began with the installation of the steel cable trace, which was carefully measured and positioned. Following this, the trace was bolted securely to the concrete piles, ensuring a robust and stable foundation for the cable. The final step involved running the cable into the cable tray, maintaining an orderly and efficient arrangement.

This project highlights our dedication to precision and quality in all our installations.

Pontoon installation

Over a period of five days, our team executed a comprehensive steel pile and pontoon installation project at Inverness Marina. This involved the precise and coordinated efforts of our skilled personnel and advanced equipment.

The project commenced with the installation of steel piles in the firth. Utilising modular barges and a hydraulic crane, we ensured the piles were positioned accurately and securely. This phase required meticulous planning and execution to guarantee the stability and safety of the piles.

Following the successful installation of the steel piles, we proceeded to the next phase; the pontoon installation. The pontoon was carefully aligned and attached to the installed piles, creating a stable and functional structure for the marina.

This project showcases our expertise in marine construction and our ability to deliver high-quality results within a specified timeframe. Our use of modular barges and hydraulic cranes highlights our commitment to utilising the best tools and techniques for each project.
