Able UK Ltd
Able UK Ltd is a privately owned, ambitious and successful organisation operating in a variety of exciting and challenging areas.
From its origins, in 1966, the Company has been founded on the core commitments of providing a wholly reliable service, respecting the natural environment and being flexible in adapting to the ever changing business needs of clients and customers.
From being a leading and innovative specialist in complex demolition processes the Company has developed in to a major player across a number of fields. These include full site reclamation and associated property development in regenerating new from old. The total land area is over 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres).
At the same time Able has established the enviable position of market leader in the decommissioning (and re-cycling) of marine structures including oil and gas platforms and ships and operates a number of riverside facilities on both the Tees and the Humber providing port and logistics services.
On the Tees: Able Seaton Port (ASP) - the former Laing’s Graythorp Yard in Hartlepool – is a 51 hectare (126 acres) multi-purpose facility. With 15 metre depth and up to 75 ton/sq metre quay load out capacity (including a 2,000 ton lift crane) the recently installed 306 metre quay can handle the largest of vessels. ASP also has the world’s largest dry dock and is currently home to a number of re-cycling activities, including the so-called Ghost Ships from the US merchant fleet, the redundant French Aircraft Carrier, Le Clemenceau. The dry dock also provides crucial facilities for the construction of semi submersible offshore drilling platforms and other marine structures.
Able Middlesbrough Port – the former Davy/SLP/Odebrecht fabrication facility adjacent to the Riverside Stadium extends to 50 acres with a 1,000 metre quay and up to 600,000 square feet of workshop and warehouse space.
Able Clarence Port – the former Teesside Refinery – covers some 47 acres and features deep water river frontage.
Billingham Reach Industrial Estate is on the North Bank of the Tees. Its 21 hectares (46 acres) combined with a 220m quay (5.5 LAT) makes it an ideal centrally located distribution and storage facility for Aggregates, Bulk and General Cargo.
On the Humber the developing Able Humber Port Facility (AHPF) is central to the future strategy of the public authorities and a principal feature within the Yorkshire Forward sponsored South Humber Masterplan. It is located immediately north of Immingham Port. The first phase of development - with 74 hectares (183 acres) – is already completed - and the second phase (releasing a further 377 hectares [931 acres]) will commence in 2009 and preparations and planning permissions are in hand for a number of other port related activities. A fully developed AHPF, which includes a separate Industrial Zone, will extend beyond 880 hectares (2,174 acres).
Able’s overarching ethos surrounds flexibility and versatility and this includes significant in-house capacity to provide solutions across design, construction, civil work and environmental services. Above all, Able prides itself on being an organisation that has the will and resource to deliver meaningful and profitable business for the mutual benefit of partners and tenants.

Conoco
Philips
Conoco Phillips Teesside Plant processes crude oil delivered by pipeline from
the Norway and UK sectors of the North Sea to produce stabilised crude oil
and refrigerated natural gas liquids (NGLs) for sale to downstream users.
The NGLs - principally ethane, propane, iso-butane and normal butane -
are contained in the incoming crude oil. The principal function of the plant
is
to remove this material from the crude oil, purify and fractionate
it into the four product components and refrigerate to allow economic storage
and shipment.
The main processing complex consists of four crude receiving spheres,
six crude oil stabilisation units, two de-ethanisers, two de-propanisers,
a de-methaniser, a butane splitter and an associated utilities plant. There
are ten crude oil storage tanks of 750000 barrel capacity and five
refrigerated NGL tanks. All products are exported via seven operational
jetties, and pipelines to Petroplus (crude oil) and Huntsman (propane
and
butane).
The plant processes approximately 700000 barrels/day from the pipeline,
which represents about 1% of the world's daily crude oil production. In
addition, 10000 barrels/day of LPG is imported from the nearby CATS gas
terminal for export across the jetties. Since startup in 1975 the plant
has been available to process for 99.99% of the time, with less than one
day lost due to plant failure.
