Briefly about me:
I'm Mark Penny welcome to my website. I'm a maintenance and construction specialist with over 16 years experience, working offshore as well as onshore. Vast experience on jack Ups and Semis as well as Drill ships , barges and land rigs. Also level 1 rope access to get to those difficult to reach locations which in many cases is often required. I was an RA3 but getting a little old for that now, although learnt a lot over the years. Many years of land rig inspection and maintenance as well as fault finding, and solution to issues which are often unexpected. Heavy lift and rigging background coupled with attention to detail and meticulous planning ensures my projects run smoothly. I live in Brazil with my wife and i have permanent residency (EXPAT) Feel free to have a look at my site to see what i have been up to. Our inspection and derrick building crews doing a terrific job in numerous countries at this time. Stay safe everyone. 2021 shaping up nicely, projects planned for, Norway, Mexico, Indonesia, UK to name but a few.

TESTIMONIAL
A very good reputation gained over the years with many offshore clients, attention to detail and always proactive in my approach to scopes. I will always offer advice as to the best way forward for the client and this is always much appreciated. With many clients asking when we can return to their rigs and platforms, which puts a smile on your face at the end of the day.
FAVOURITE QUOTE
The one that has put me in good stead for countless years:
"When you have reached the end of the rope, tie a knot in it and hang on"
Makes me smile for sure.
If you cant do that then give it your all,, no one can ask anymore from you
