Bilfinger UK secures strategic offshore and onshore scaffold and fabric maintenance contracts, strengthening energy sector presence
Posted on 27 February 2026
• Two major contract wins with Ithaca Energy’s Cygnus assets, and at the St Fergus
SAGE Terminal with Wood PLC
• Strengthening Bilfinger’s role in UK energy infrastructure and expanding operational
footprint
Bilfinger has secured two high-profile maintenance contracts that significantly strengthen its
presence across both offshore and onshore energy operations in the UK. These strategic wins -
one with Ithaca Energy’s Cygnus assets and another at the St Fergus SAGE Terminal with
Wood PLC - underscore Bilfinger’s role as a key contributor to national energy infrastructure
and its continued growth in the sector.
The first award is the Scaffold and Fabric Maintenance Services contract for Ithaca Energy’s
Cygnus assets, commencing January 2026. The Cygnus field, located in the Southern North
Sea, is the UK’s largest producing gas field and plays a vital role in supporting national energy
security. It connects to the Perenco-operated terminal at Bacton and comprises a complex
infrastructure of three bridge-linked Alpha platforms: AWHP – Wellhead Drilling Centre, APU –
Processing/Utilities Unit, AQU – Living Quarters and Central Control Room.
Additionally, Cygnus Bravo is an unmanned satellite platform situated approximately 7 km
northwest of Cygnus Alpha. This award follows Ithaca Energy’s acquisition of Eni’s UK
upstream oil and gas assets in 2024, which added the Cygnus field to its North Sea portfolio.
Rod Agnew, Vice President Offshore Services at Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance UK, said:
“Bilfinger is proud to continue and expand its longstanding partnership with Ithaca Energy - a
relationship that spans over three decades. This new chapter on the Cygnus installations
reflects a shared commitment to excellence and collaboration. To support a smooth transition, a
dedicated team has been mobilised to oversee onboarding, with approximately 12 base
personnel joining Bilfinger from the outgoing contractor.”
