Subsea manufacturer Soil Machine Dynamics has signed a significant manufacturing partnership with a Dubai company.

The Wallsend business, recognised as a world leader in the design and manufacture of subsea vehicle systems, has announced the partnership with subsea excavation specialist Seajet Systems (SJS).

The Dubai business specialises in controlled flow excavation (CFE) solutions, with its systems being used at more than 600 trenching and excavation projects around the world.

The new deal will see North Tyneside based SMD exclusively build, test and commission the most advanced fleet of CFE equipment available in the market.

The agreement follows SJS’s launch in May 2021 where it offered the offshore energy industry the ability to own and operate CFE technology for the first time.

Faisel Chaudry, managing director at SJS, said: “We are delighted to partner with SMD because of its renowned reputation for world leading innovation and quality in the subsea trenching industry.

“Following our launch, we’ve seen significant interest in our solutions that have been honed over 25 years and now together with SMD, we offer a real step change in CFE provision to our global client base.

“This major milestone also provides us with the opportunity to think about what’s next – by continually pushing the boundaries in CFE tooling development and working with SMD’s engineering team to deliver cutting edge solutions that combine the expertise of both companies. We’re excited for the future.”

Paul Davison, deputy chief executive at SMD, added: “CFE offers a range of opportunities in offshore wind oil and gas markets alongside our existing solutions.

“The SJS team know the technology and the market, and with our 50 years of experience, we bring build quality and after-care reassurance. Our complimentary teams and experience form a strong partnership which we in turn can offer to our clients.

“We look forward to developing the technology and service with the SJS team.”
