3 WHO ARE MACAW? MACAW Engineering are a leading independent engineering consultancy working closely with global operators of oil & gas production facilities, pipelines and utility systems to reduce risk, maintain integrity and extend the service life of client assets. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, MACAW currently employs over 80 people, the majority of whom have a graduate level qualification in a relevant technical discipline. Over 50% of staff have post graduate qualifications or Professional Engineering status, with many of our principal consultants able to draw on more than 25 years industry experience. We provide integrity management strategies for the oil and gas industry, covering both onshore and offshore plant and pipelines. These strategies are often employed in maintaining the integrity of ageing assets and extending their service life. Where new developments are proposed by operators (frequently those involving existing infrastructure), we identify and analyse technical issues that may impact on the future integrity of a project in order to specify an optimised plan. MACAW has extensive knowledge and experience of: Integrity Management Corrosion Mechanisms Materials (carbon steels, CRA materials and polymers) Coatings Systems Inspection Methods Welding Procedures Failure Investigation Our Integrity Group has unrivalled experience in interpreting in line inspection (ILI) data, providing fitness-for-purpose assessments and corrosion growth analyses leading to optimised on-going Integrity Management through scheduled repairs and inspection intervals. Our client list reflects the fact that the energy industry operates in a global market we have provided services to major oil and gas operators in over 40 countries around the world, ensuring that we are responsive and our services are customised to client needs We offer a range of support services, including a risk based inspection scheme for plant and pipelines, on-site condition assessment of assets, failure investigations, pipe mill audits and experimental testing facilities. MACAW published the popular MACAW s Pipeline Defects book and helped initiate a successful MSc in High Pressure Pipeline Engineering at Newcastle University.

4 HISTORY OF MACAW The company was formed in 1996 by four senior engineers from the former British Gas Engineering Research Station in Killingworth, Northern England. From the early days it was clear that there was a high demand for the services MACAW offered and in early 2000 we successfully established a long term service agreement with a major North Sea Operator, which has continued to this day. By 2006 we had grown to a company of 25 people and it was decided to form a Pipeline Integrity Group to service an emerging need from our customers. Following equity investment in 2007 we moved to a larger office in Gosforth Business Park and grew the Pipeline Integrity Services Group substantially. Following this move, in 2008, the Corrosion Management, Engineering Services and Materials and Welding groups were established as separate entities. On our 15 th anniversary of being in business, the Duke of Northumberland officially opened the new global headquarters of MACAW Engineering Ltd, on the prestigious Quorum Business Park in This move supported the rise in staff in our head office to over 80 engineers and the overseeing of overseas expansion as well as accommodation for the next phase of growth of the Company MACAW founded by four Senior Engineers from the former British Gas Engineering Research Station Pipeline Integrity Group formed. MACAW grows to 25 staff MACAW gains an equity investement and moves to larger offices following significant company growth Corrosion Management, Engineering Services and Materials & Welding Groups established as separate entities th anniversary. MACAW moves to our current larger premesis with over 60 staff. Mexico City Office Opened. Head Office, Quorum Business Park 2014 MACAW plans to extend the current offices to accommodate over 80 staff and expand overseas.
