CRP Subsea invests in new manufacturing facility
CRP Subsea has made a large-scale investment in a new manufacturing facility in Skelmersdale to support its transition from primarily serving the oil and gas sector into the renewables market. The purpose-built facility includes a state-of-the-art semi-automated production line for the NjordGuard cable protection system used in offshore wind farms.
The new facility will enable CRP Subsea to significantly improve the flow of materials, achieve throughput efficiencies and increase productivity, increasing overall production output. The company says the enhanced capacity will position CRP Subsea to support the growing number of offshore wind projects.
