Sharjah Facility

The Sharjah Facility, the lease for which has recently been extended by the Group until July 2013 is located in Port Khalid. It has approximately 360 metres of direct quayside access and it is at this location where the majority of Lamprell's jackup rig upgrade and refurbishment projects are executed. The Sharjah Facility has a total surface area of approximately 36,000m² that includes approximately 28,000m² of open fabrication area serviced by mobile crawler cranes and tower cranes, as well as approximately 3,500m² of covered fabrication space. Lamprell's senior management team and the service departments such as finance, human resources and procurement are all located at the Sharjah Facility.

There is a core workforce of over 1,500 skilled tradesmen in Sharjah and this is supplemented with the short term hire of additional local labour to ensure that the necessary resources are available on all projects. As a result, there is regularly a workforce numbering up to 3,000 working at the Sharjah Facility in any 24 hour period.
