Norfolk-based energy services specialist Stowen Group has launched a new scaffolding division to expand its service offerings across offshore sectors.

Stowen Scaffolding and Access Ltd, led by technical director Cameron Silom, marks the company’s latest move to strengthen its position in offshore wind and oil and gas markets.

Silom, who brings a wealth of experience in scaffolding management, will spearhead the initiative, ensuring that the division meets the growing demands of the offshore energy industry.

“Our new scaffolding division allows us to support clients during the construction phase of offshore wind projects, as well as throughout their operational life,” said Silom. “This addition enhances our ability to provide a full-service solution, addressing the unique challenges of working offshore.”

The scaffolding team is being trained and upskilled through a partnership with Hexis, a group training company. By investing in personnel development, Stowen aims to ensure its teams possess the expertise required to excel in the offshore environment, where safety and precision are paramount. Senior offshore scaffold supervisors are also pivotal in guiding the team through these advancements.

Expanding Service Offerings

Stowen’s new scaffolding division is tailored to serve a wide range of industries, from offshore renewables to oil and gas. The company’s comprehensive approach integrates scaffolding with its existing portfolio of services, including construction, maintenance, and decommissioning of offshore installations.

“We are often involved in the construction phase of offshore wind projects, especially around offshore substations,” said Kieron Ford, managing director of renewables at Stowen. “This new division allows us to offer scaffolding as part of a wider package, enhancing the efficiency and safety of these projects.”

A Strategic Move

The scaffolding division is part of Stowen’s broader strategy to bolster its capabilities in key sectors. Through close collaboration with Hexis Training, the group ensures that its workforce receives the necessary technical skills and meets the stringent safety standards required for offshore operations.

This focus on training is designed to provide clients with a highly skilled and certified workforce ready to meet the complex demands of offshore energy projects. Stowen’s holistic approach to service delivery combines practical expertise with a strong emphasis on safety and operational excellence, ensuring that projects run smoothly and efficiently.

Offshore Expertise

The division is fully equipped to handle onshore and offshore scaffolding projects, providing services ranging from design and installation to maintenance and dismantling. In offshore environments, Stowen’s teams are prepared to work on a variety of installations, including mobile offshore drilling units and wind energy substations.

“Our scaffolding solutions are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of offshore environments,” said Silom. “By adhering to rigorous safety standards, we ensure that every project is executed with precision and reliability.”

With the addition of its scaffolding division, Stowen is positioned to provide comprehensive support across a wide array of offshore projects, reinforcing its commitment to meeting client needs with tailored, high-quality solutions.
