Industrial support group Pyeroy has won a £1.1m contract to support the multi-million- pound refit of the Royal Navy’s Trident ballistic missile submarine HMS Vengeance.
HMS Vengeance is the fourth and last of the Vanguard class submarines to undergo an overhaul which will take around three and a half years and involve over 2,000 personnel.
Pyeroy will help the process by putting up scaffolding and containment contract.
The work, at Babcock’s Devonport Royal Dockyard facility, will involve operatives providing access scaffolding and containment systems around the vessel to enable the refit work to be undertaken.
Jack Hayton, director of Pyeroy’s marine division, said: “Scaffolding for access to the vessel’s hull is under way and this is another major contract for Babcock that showcases the skills and workmanship of our workforce.”
The latest contract win follows an earlier £400,000 contract to support the refit of the Royal Navy’s Trafalgar- class submarine HMS Torbay at Devonport.
Pyeroy also undertakes work for Babcock at Rosyth and is supporting work on the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers under construction around the country.
Pyeroy employs 1,350 people at its headquarters and eight operating centres in the UK.
It works in the industrial, construction and marine sectors, providing services including scaffolding and equipment hire, surface preparation and application of marine/industrial protective coatings, insulation, civil engineering and building works and environmental management services such as asbestos removal.
