Another project successfully completed

Work included:

– Lifting the barges out of the water and into the yard
– Erect scaffolding, cover with a net and HP wash the hull
– Survey (thickness test). Serco supplied their own engineer for this
– Carry out relevant repairs, subject to the survey (none in this occasion)
– Paint vessel as per spec
– Remove scaffolding, relaunch and ensure watertight integrity

There will be more work required on the two vessels in the future but for now, they’re back in the water, on time and on budget

IME Engineering attempt to avoid new congestion charges in Portsmouth

Fake News Alert

Recently spotted in Portsmouth was this converted flatbed lorry operated by IME Engineering. What looks to be some kind of new exhaust system has been fitted in what could be an attempt to circumvent new emission regulations coming into force.

When asked for comment Gary Hatch of IME said, “Although cargo space has been compromised, by converting these pieces into some sort of exhaust gas scrubber it is hoped we will dodge any future emission charges.” Jim Moody, another employee who didn’t want to be named said that, “Although it looks a bit Heath Robinson at the moment, our design office is currently drawing the MKII version on the back of another fag packet.”
