Only occasionally, other than new builds, is a complete rig mechanization system ordered as one project. More usually, the challenge lies in finding a contractor who can develop partial systems to integrate with existing equipment – but with an eye to progressive upgrade of the whole.

Only an organization with the design, engineering and project management skills - including the track record and resources of Sparrows Mechanical Handling – can be relied upon to deliver in both the near and long term on the combined maintenance/upgrade/ replacement programs which take a modern rig through its service lifetime cost-efficiently.
This is the Sparrows mission. We see every project as part of a relationship. Every modification or upgrade as part of a lifetime package development plan.
Design and project management resources are based at the Mechanical Handling division's headquarters in Shipley, England. These are represented in the field by sales and customer support personnel in Aberdeen, Houston, Abu Dhabi and Perth and are backed by the sophisticated high-end computer assisted design, modelling and testing facilities at the group's technical centre in Aberdeen.
