Offshore Marine Management’s (OMM) Middle East based sister company, Control & Applications Offshore Marine Management (CAOMM), has signed a contract with ULO Systems for the installation of 12,000 concrete mattresses utilizing OMM’s Multi Mattress Deployment System, MDS3.

The contract, due to be delivered in Q1 2019, covers the installation of 12,000 concrete mattresses, manufactured by ULO themselves, to minimize erosion by protecting a river bank on-site at a Nuclear Plant in a rural area of Bangladesh. The supply of the MDS3 system will be supported by specialist personnel provided by sister company, Offshore Marine People & Academy (OMPA).

The MDS3 system most recently completed a mattress installation to protect subsea cable on the Scilly Isle connector project off the coast of the United Kingdom. The use of the MDS3 on these two projects shows the capability and versatility of the system on a wide range of projects and environments, whilst remaining a cost-effective solution.

Rob Grimmond, Managing Director for OMM, said of the agreement, “We are pleased to support this exciting project providing the opportunity to expand into a new part of the world. This latest award from ULO further demonstrates the capability of both the CAOMM team and the MDS3 tool to adapt to their service offering to the given situation in a tough environment.”

Colin Reilly, Deputy General Manager at ULO Systems, commented “For ULO, when requested to undertake the installation scope from our client we only ever considered using CAOMM. The MDS tool is without doubt an incredible asset and will assist in achieving our installation target.”
