Survitec HeliPPE secures multi-year PPE rental agreement with Swire Renewable Energy

Under the new contract, Swire technicians will be equipped with a harness and the Hansen Protection Seabreeze, a one-hour SOLAS and ISO compliant coverall designed for work in harsh and demanding conditions.

Technicians will also receive the Crewsaver ErgoFit SOLAS lifejacket designed for the offshore wind industry, ship transfer and turbine work at height. The ErgoFit SOLAS lifejacket is an ergonomic solution for continuous wear with uncompromising protection in the water, including a fast rotating inflation bladder and EXOLOK cylinder retention system.

Survitec HeliPPE CEO Mads Enemark Nørgreen said: “This agreement represents an important milestone for Survitec HeliPPE, demonstrating our ability to deliver comprehensive PPE solutions for offshore wind farms.

“We have a well-established logistics network that allows us to meet contract requirements. Our asset management portal and app were key factors in Swire Renewable Energy choosing Survitec HeliPPE as their preferred and trusted PPE partner. This, combined with our high-quality products, full service flexibility and fast response times, sets us apart.”

Jørn Steffensen, Sourcing and Fleet Specialist at Swire Renewable Energy, said: “Easy access to high-quality, fully serviced PPE, as well as the ability to track and manage our requirements and certifications for both project managers and technicians, were key factors in selecting Survitec HeliPPE. This agreement ensures that our technicians have the best safety equipment and provides us with a strategic advantage of scalability, allowing us to flexibly and conveniently meet our PPE needs as they arise.”

Through a comprehensive subscription model, Swire Renewable Energy will benefit from an integrated, one-stop-shop solution that strategically enhances PPE asset management. Swire coordinators will have streamlined access to project management via the Survitec HeliPPE system, enabling efficient oversight of technicians, certificates and orders. Additionally, technicians will have access to the Survitec HeliPPE app to seamlessly view their orders and certificates, further optimizing operational efficiency and ensuring convenient and reliable service.

Subscription-based models have revolutionized many industries by giving end users more control and convenience. Now, this approach extends to PPE, offering cutting-edge equipment on demand.

Reconfiguring PPE requirements becomes seamless with a subscription-based model, offering a range of benefits to the offshore industry. This includes minimising downtime by ensuring technicians and crew have readily available, serviced PPE and the necessary documentation. The flexibility to scale up or down deliveries without delays further increases operational efficiency.

This model is particularly important for companies in the wind energy industry because it guarantees safe operation in difficult climatic conditions without the need to manage, store and finance personal protective equipment.
