Offshore wind specialist
JECS Offshore Scaffolding was incorporated in November 2014 and has built its business around specialist access work in the offshore wind sector.
Scaffmag reported on the company’s growth in 2017, when JECS said it was supplying scaffolding access services to developers and contractors working on offshore wind farms across five European countries.
In 2021, Scaffmag also reported that the business had been selected to provide offshore access equipment and scaffolding and rigging teams for work connected with the Seagreen offshore wind farm off Scotland.
Scaffmag contacted JECS Offshore Scaffolding for comment before publication but had not received a response at the time of writing. This article will be updated if the company provides a statement.
